Create high-valued solutions through partnerships that positively contribute to both human and animal health and well-being, and the environment.
Specific preparation in a controlled environment
SSR is ISO 22442-2 compliant, and sources porcine tissues from three SQF certified Johnsonville facilities (abattoirs) located in Wisconsin, Illinois, and Kansas. SSR has the ability to utilize designated medical-material rooms at our abattoirs, when there is a need for a controlled environment and specific preparation steps for porcine tissues. The rooms are staffed by Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) trained personnel who process, inspect, package, and ship porcine tissues according to the SOP defined in partnership with our customers.
