AAMP announces winners of DFV-AAMP Quality Competition for Sausage & Ham

The American Association of Meat Processors (AAMP) announced the winners of the DFV-AAMP Quality Competition for Sausage & Ham. The German Butchers Association (DFV, short for Deutscher Fleischer-Verband), the official representative of craft butchers in Germany, formed a partnership with AAMP to hold the DFV/AAMP IFFA Quality Competition for Sausage and Ham every three years in the United States.

The DFV-AAMP Competition took place January 15-22, 2022 in State College, Pennsylvania.

The German Butchers' Association (DFV) invites participants to attend the official award ceremony at the IFFA in Frankfurt, Germany on Tuesday, May 17, 2022, at 2:00 p.m. If you cannot attend the IFFA, AAMP and a representative from the DFV will present awards and certificates during the 83rd AAMP Convention in Des Moines in July. For those unable to attend either event, AAMP will mail the awards after the convention. If you are interested in attending one or both events to receive your award, please contact Nelson Gaydos.
