SERVICES OVERVIEW

Consumers today demand exacting standards. Total traceability of the livestock, their husbandry and welfare all form part of product specification.

WD Meats provide for these ever increasing standards through working in partnership with local farmers, the Department of Agriculture Veterinary and Farm Development Services and the Livestock and Meat Commission. Through this relationship WD Meats have the ability to procure livestock to unique standards of breed and husbandry, tailor made to suit retailers’ needs and specialist niche markets.

QUALITY ASSURANCE/STANDARDS

At WD Meats Quality Assurance is a key element of our business, the quality and safety of food are what our customers demand.

In complying with product quality and safety standards, the Technical Department at WD Meats operates an independently audited Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) system. This system ensures the highest level of food safety and quality at all points within the production process.

The Department of Agriculture’s traceability system APHIS ONLINE provides details of the entire life history of the animal from the farm of its birth until arrival and receipt at our lairage. Once the cattle enter the WD Meats production process, our local systems then continue the traceability process throughout each stage of production. This system ensures that complete traceability from farm to product being dispatched to our customers is captured.
