Commitment To Traceability From Field To Fork
In an era where consumers are increasingly concerned about the origins of their food, Complete Meats stands out with its unwavering commitment to traceability from field to fork. Our dedication ensures that every step of the journey, from our farm and partners where livestock is raised, to the table where the meat is enjoyed, meticulously monitored and documented.
At the heart of our traceability system is a robust, transparent process that begins at the source: our farms. We are proud to supply our quality produce from our own farm as well as partnering with a network of trusted, ethical farmers who adhere to the highest standards of animal welfare and environmental stewardship. Each animal is tagged and tracked using state-of-the-art technology, allowing us to gather detailed information about its health, diet, and living conditions.
In our processing facilities, the commitment to traceability continues. Advanced tracking systems ensure that each piece of meat is handled with the utmost care and integrity. This meticulous process not only guarantees food safety but also allows us to maintain the highest quality standards. Each product is labelled with a unique code, enabling consumers to trace the meat back to its source.
Complete Meats' commitment to traceability extends to our distribution and retail partners. We collaborate closely with them to ensure that the integrity of our products is maintained throughout the supply chain. From temperature-controlled transportation to rigorous storage protocols, every detail is managed to preserve the quality and traceability of our meat.
For our customers, this means peace of mind. They can enjoy our products knowing exactly where their meat comes from, how it was raised, and that it meets the highest standards of quality and safety. At Complete Meats, traceability is more than a promise—it's a guarantee. Our dedication to transparency and quality assurance sets us apart, providing a model for the industry and confidence for our consumers.
