The European market is willing to pay higher prices for quality products, resulting in higher profit margins for the sector. Now, need to understand if the processing of turkey meat in Brazil returned to compliance with standards that the European market requires. The objective of this article will be evaluate the production process and the turkey meat production plant compliance with the necessary requirements for export to the European Union, of a company in the municipality of Francisco Beltrão - Paraná. To meet the objectives presented, comparative tables will be developed showing the differences between Brazilian and European legislation for turkey meat, and then, the parameters that will be evaluated on site are defined. With the collaboration of a company that has a poultry slaughtering and meat processing unit in Francisco Beltrão, the parameters are verified by monitoring the quality monitoring of each of them. Monitoring data recorded in the first half of 2024 will be presented, over the course of one week of production. After performing an extensive assessment of a turkey meat production plant, it was found that most of the evaluated parameters are met. Although there are still key points for adaptation, the company understands that the investment, despite being high, is necessary to open the market, which has great potential for the product.
