The Northern Ireland Beef & Lamb Farm Quality Assurance Scheme was developed to give consumers assurances about the farm end of the production chain of their food. It is about farm quality – the quality of the production methods used, the quality of care for animals which is practiced, the quality of the farm environment, and above all the quality of concern for the customer in producing beef and lamb which is wholesome, safe and free from unnatural substances.

The NIBL FQAS logo illustrates that your beef/lamb has been sourced from farms that have met the NIBL FQAS Product Standard as independently verified by Northern Ireland Food Chain Certification (NIFCC) and slaughtered/processed by a processor member of the NIBL FQAS.

The Northern Ireland Beef and Lamb Farm Quality Assurance Scheme (NIBL FQAS) is mutually recognised by Red Tractor, Quality Meat Scotland and Farm Assured Welsh Livestock.
