Product Hygiene Indicators Program

​​The Product Hygiene Indicators (PHI) Program identifies a number of key performance indicators (KPIs) which when combined produce an index, the Product Hygiene Index, which is a measure of hygienic meat production at individual export establishments. The KPIs can be used within an establishment to monitor and assess performance of process control and can be used across establishments to compare performance against other similar slaughter and boning operations.
