AAMPlifier Magazine

The AAMPlifier contains a wealth of information on industry trends, important national news, association activities, and operational information to keep members fully informed about events affecting their business. The Capitol Line-Up deals strictly with governmental affairs in the industry and can be found on the inside of the AAMPlifier. It keeps AAMP members up-to-date with the latest news about government affairs from Congress and key agencies in Washington, as well as state legislatures and state regulatory bodies.

National Convention

The annual meeting of the organization is the American Convention of Meat Processors and Suppliers’ Exhibition. This show features a serious educational program for operators, sparkling entertainment, fun, and fellowship… plus exhibits and displays by leading industry manufacturers and suppliers. The American Cured Meat Championships, which takes place during the Convention, is the largest nationwide competition for cured meats.

Representation in Washington

AAMP is vigilant watchdog on Congressional legislation, agency regulation, and government activities that affect your business. We develop relationships with members of Congress and their staff and provide input concerning laws and regulations that would affect the industry. As an advocate for the small meat & poultry processor, we work to make your voice heard in Washington.

Meat Inspection Problem Solving

AAMP helps its members to solve inspection problems they encounter in the course of day-to-day product production and business with personal attention and advice. AAMP helps members who are having problems seek fair solutions directly with the federal and state inspection agencies. AAMP also provides immediate telephone advice on SSOP’s, sanitation, HACCP, and other problems.

HACCP Support

AAMP has collected numerous papers to help its members support the reason why certain critical limits are chosen throughout HACCP plans.

AAMP's model HACCP plans contain all of the information that you need to know when developing a HACCP plan. Within each HACCP plan, common critical control points (CCPs) were determined with common critical limits (CLs). These two essential points are backed up by supporting documentation that is only a click away.

Nutrition Labeling Services

We provide the nutritional tools for you! Our single ingredient nutrition brochures can assist consumers to make informed choices about the products they are purchasing.

Education

AAMP offers webinars, brochures, videos, articles and more that give operators instruction in new products, new technology, new management ideas, and food safety, including HACCP.

Once you are a member of AAMP, you are part of a community of meat industry professionals who are interested in sharing ideas, experiences and recommendations.
