Take part in the DFV/AAMP IFFA Quality Competition for Sausage and Ham
Judging takes place January 21-24, 2019 at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
IFFA, the world's leading meat industry trade fair, will be held May 4-9, 2019, in Frankfurt, Germany. During the IFFA, the German Butchers' Association (DFV) will organize their renowned international quality competitions for meat products. In the past, numerous American producers of traditional high-quality meat products have been awarded medals and trophies in their competitions.
In recent years, however, the shipping of meat and meat products from non-EU countries into Germany for quality testing has become increasingly difficult due to a growing number of EU regulations. A variety of documents and certificates must be presented at the German customs office. Experience shows that these rules are very strictly monitored, which means that product samples, which are submitted without customs clearance for evaluation at IFFA, cannot be accepted by the DFV.
