Euromalt members suggest that there was a need to develop a set of generic guides to ensure good practice at all stages of the supply chain from farm to maltings.
As a result Euromalt has laid out the minimum standards that could be applied by all the companies in the supply of raw materials to malting companies in the EU. This has definite advantages for all parties in the supply chain, as well as legislators.
More precisely, in 2005 Euromalt developed the following guides:
- Guides for Seed Merchants of Malting Barley
- Guide for Growers of Malting Cereals
- Guide for Storekeepers, Grain Merchants and Co-operatives supplying the Malting Industry
- Guide for Transporters of Malting Cereals
Each of these guides is meant to allow each company to follow a common approach, and to complement national guides; however, they are not intended to replace site-specific guides and participation is voluntary.
We have followed this up in 2006 by developing a Euromalt guide for Good Hygiene Practices for the Malting Companies in Europe, showing Euromalt Maltsters commitment in the need to establishment minimum safety standards in the food chain.
