Disclaimer:

The Carcass Trim Audit does not cover individual company carcass grading systems. Processors remain free to assess the value of the carcass based on factors such as fat cover, conformation or any other quality criteria, and pay for the venison accordingly; however, these should be explained to suppliers.

It does not cover individual payment to suppliers. The system does not guarantee that the money an individual farmer receives is the correct amount for the animals delivered to the processor.

While DINZ takes care to ensure those plants accredited under the Deer Industry New Zealand Carcass Trim Compliant verification programme use the Industry Agreed Standard Carcass Trim for making payments to producers, any persons relying on DINZ’s accreditation do so at their own risk and DINZ accepts no liability whatsoever for any resulting loss (whether direct or indirect).
