Verified Beef Production

The VBP program helps producers reach and maintain the highest beef safety standards possible. The program is grass-roots driven and industry-led.  Verification tells everyone – consumers, your employees and the industry – that you are committed to safe on-farm food practices. Canada’s beef producers already have a reputation for acting responsibly. The Verified Beef Production program protects that well-deserved reputation and takes it to a new and verifiable level.
