CONTAMINATED IRISH PORK - 8 December 2008
Plantation Pigs is registered with The Assured British Pigs
scheme and independently audited by Product Authentication Inspectorate
Ltd. The feed companies supplying our pig feeds are members of UFAS
which is the relevant assurance scheme for the feed compounder. This
requires that all raw materials are FEMAS approved. The assurance
scheme gives traceability and assurance of feed and all activities
in the production of our Free Range Pork. It involves a disciplined
and rigorous approach to Quality Control that covers the chain of
production of our free range pigs.
Our attitude has always been to
deal exclusively with feed compounders that can offer this strict
assurance and traceability of the sourcing of all raw materials and
manufacture of end product.
Our supplying
feed companies have confirmed our feed as having been produced
to the correct nutritional parameters and safety standards.
Our compliance with the assurance scheme and that of
our suppliers gives confidence in the traceability and provenance
of our free range pork.
