What Does SRMS Stand For?

SRMS stands for Specified Risk Materials

SRMS, or Specified Risk Materials, refer to specific animal tissues and by-products that are deemed to pose a higher risk for transmitting diseases, particularly in the context of food safety and public health. These materials are typically regulated in order to prevent the spread of zoonotic diseases, such as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), and are subject to strict handling and disposal guidelines in various jurisdictions to ensure the safety of the food supply.
