Why buy South African Pork?

South African pork is being produced according to world class standards. We guarantee 100% food safety throughout the entire production chain, thus from farm to fork. These standards are strictly monitored. 

Consumers can rest assured that the locally produced pork for sale in South African stores is safe and healthy and does not contain any harmful substances. All lean, trimmed pork cuts with no more than 3 mm visible fat, are approved by the Heart Foundation

Local producers adhere to stringent production standards regarding animal health, animal feed and animal housing practices. Pigs are scientifically fed and raised, based on many decades of international research.

South African pigs are also slaughtered according to the world-class hygiene standards. Meat inspection at approved abattoirs is compulsory in terms of the Meat Safety Act no 40 of 2000. This means that pork at these abattoirs are inspected to determine if it adheres to strict safety regulations to ensure a wholesome product for the consumer.

Pork is moved to retail outlets in refrigerated trucks to maintain a cold chain all the way to consumers.

 Always buy fresh, South African pork.
