Assured UK Malt (AUKM) is a program run by The Maltsters’ Association of Great Britain (MAGB) which sets standards for malting codes of practice. The program’s certification mark provides brewers and distillers with assurance about the quality and traceability of malt. The AUKM program is independently audited by Kiwa Agri Foods, which is accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS).
The AUKM program aims to demonstrate to customers and other interested parties that malt producers are following best practices and effectively controlling food safety and quality hazards. The program provides assurance about food safety, product legality, operational practices, and product quality. It also verifies traceability throughout the malting process and demonstrates that the grain supply comes from an assured source.
