SENASA Resolution 200/2026: Regulatory Framework for the Approval of Dairy Farms Supplying Milk for Export to the European Union and the United Kingdom

SENASA Resolution 200/2026 approves the regulatory framework and technical standard for the authorization of primary production establishments, or dairy farms, supplying milk to reception, treatment and/or processing plants producing dairy products or by-products for export to the European Union and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The regulation establishes sanitary, hygienic and structural requirements and procedures for applications, inspections, assessments, authorization, renewal, preventive suspension and withdrawal of authorization. Each dairy-farm authorization is valid for two years and renewal may be requested up to three months before expiry. Inspections are carried out by the competent local SENASA veterinarian and establishments are classified as acceptable or not acceptable. The Resolution also requires the involvement of a private or accredited veterinarian as sanitary co-responsible for animal health, treatments, records, animal welfare, feeding and facility hygiene. The framework provides for up to three inspection instances, preventive measures, penalties for non-compliance and progressive digitalization of administrative procedures through the SIGTrámites platform.
