Processed & stored to the highest E.U. hygiene standards, all products can be customised to meet unique customer requirements.
Labelling

Each vechicle is individually monitored by a seperate temperature probe which is downloaded daily. We can therefore provide temperature records for the individual vechicle which delivers your products.
HACCP
Since 1998 it has been a legal requirement for all meat suppliers to have a food safety management system based on the principles of HACCP (European Communities Hygiene of Foodstuffs Regulations, 2000 (S.I.
