The BMPA Quality Pork Charter Scheme is recognised by Red Tractor Assurance as part of their licensing eligibility criteria so that members of the scheme can use the following Red Tractor logos on product, paperwork, marketing materials and websites where they hold a valid Red Tractor Licence and only after approval (of artwork) from Red Tractor:
The Red Tractor ‘Certified Standards’ logo
BMPA Quality Assured Pork (BQAP) (Module 2) and processed pork meat products including Bacon & Gammon (Module 3), Ham and Cooked Pork (Module 4) and Pork Sausage (Module 5), where the product contains a minimum of 95% Red Tractor Assured/BQAP pork.
The Red Tractor Named Ingredient ‘Pork’ logo
BMPA Quality Assured Pork (BQAP) (Module 2) and processed pork meat products including Bacon & Gammon (Module 3), Ham and Cooked Pork (Module 4) and Pork Sausage (Module 5) where the Red Tractor Assured/BQAP pork content makes up 94% or less of the finished product.
The Red Tractor ‘Bacon’ logo
As an alternative to the Red Tractor Certified Standards and Named Ingredient “Pork” logos, the Red Tractor “Bacon” logo can be used on products certified to the BMPA Quality Assured Bacon and Gammon standards (Module 3).
The Red Tractor ‘Gammon’ logo
As an alternative to the Red Tractor Certified Standards and Named Ingredient “Pork” logos, the Red Tractor “Gammon” logo can be used on products certified to the BMPA Quality Assured Bacon and Gammon standards (Module 3),
The Red Tractor ‘Ham’ logo
As an alternative to the Red Tractor Certified Standards and Named Ingredient “Pork” logos, the Red Tractor “Ham” logo can be used on products certified to the BMPA Quality Assured Ham & Cooked Pork standards (Module 4).
The ‘Made with Red Tractor Assured Pork’ logo: this logo has been discontinued. Where this logo was used, the logo of the characterising ingredient may now be used, where the Red Tractor certified ingredient(s) makes up 94% or less of the finished product (subject to the terms and conditions outlined on the Red Tractor Assurance website).
The Red Tractor logos have been updated from March 2020, and there is an 18-month implementation period from this date to allow for artwork changeover.
