BQS - Beef Quality Standard

BQS - Beef Quality Standard

The highest quality of beef produced by OSI POLAND FOODWORKS is guaranteed by our strict quality systems, including our own Beef Quality Standard- BQS, which encompasses breeding procedures, purchasing, transport, slaughter and cutting.

BQS-signed beef is characterised by the following criteria:

• animals come from farms audited under the “CULTIVATE” programme;
• meat is derived from selected, young meat cattle and crossbreds of Polish origin;
• there are transport and slaughter restrictions:
  • animals from different farms cannot be transported together;
  • limiting the distance- in case of direct delivery;
  • limiting the time between the delivery and slaughter;

• the system operates only in case of beef quarters;
• the system guarantees the ability to identify the origin of meat;
