AT SAMIC
We believe in world-class standards of quality audits, inspections, and outstanding service performance. The national Department of Agriculture appointed SAMIC as the assignee for the purpose of the application of sections 3(1)(a) and (b) and 8 of the Agricultural Product Standards Act 119 of 1990 with regard to the classification and marking of meat intended for sale in the Republic of South Africa. The SAMIC auditors operating across the country perform this duty with full commitment to consumers, farmers, livestock auctions, abattoir owners, and meat traders to ensure always 100% integrity in the value chain and our product – beef, lamb, goat, and pork. It is therefore important that dishonourable and non-conforming activities are addressed and corrected appropriately, so that the playing field stays level.
Registered quality indication marks
SAMIC is assigned by the national Department of Agriculture to audit quality indication marks on behalf of them. The two outstanding characteristics of quality indication marks are the uniqueness of it against the norm, and that it is always traceable. Therefore SAMIC is auditing quality indication marks at farms, abattoirs, feedlots, deboning plants, and outlets.
