Assured UK Malt Standard

The Assured UK Malt Standard documents the requirements to be followed for the supply of malt that carries the ‘Assured UK Malt' certification. It can be used for the complete range of malts produced from assured grain that are intended for further processing within the food and drink industries.

The standard is designed to provide maltsters with a mechanism for assuring:

Food Safety

Product Legality

Good Operational Practice

Product Quality

This standard may aid malt producers to develop systems that demonstrate food safety, good manufacturing practice and quality management. The standard may also be used by customers, auditors and regulatory authorities to ensure that best practice has been followed in setting up and maintaining assured malting systems.

Malting operations fully meeting the requirements of this standard will be able to demonstrate to customers and other interested parties that best practice in malting operations has been followed and food safety and quality hazards are effectively controlled.

All companies certified to supply Assured UK Malt will be subject to external audit of their compliance with the standard.
