In Great Britain a new Assured Integrated Milk Supplier (AIMS) scheme has been introduced. The covers milk which is supplied between dairy trading and processing companies as part of commercial agreements. The purpose of the AIMS scheme is to create a status of Assured Supplier for the participating dairies (Scheme Members). When trading milk between the schemes’ members, the receiving dairy can be confident that the milk being supplied will meet the standards expected and so provenance is assured.
