100% New Zealand Pork

100% New Zealand Pork is a blue logo that is available to meat retailers (Butchers, Franchise Butchers, and Supermarkets) free of charge from New Zealand Pork.  Look for this logo at your local butcher or supermarket to guarantee your 100% New Zealand Pork.

The 100% New Zealand Pork logo represents only pork that has been raised in New Zealand’s pristine farming conditions.  Meat retailers are audited to prove only New Zealand Pork is being used when these labels are used.

Only 100% New Zealand Pork is guaranteed to be:

• From pigs born and raised on New Zealand farms
• Produced according to New Zealand’s Animal Welfare (Pigs) Code of Welfare 2005
• Low in food miles
• Free from added growth hormones
• Compliant with New Zealand’s stringent food safety standards

Why is New Zealand labelling important?

In 2007, every week 800,000 kgs of pork was imported into New Zealand from countries such as Canada, USA, Australia, China, Scandinavia and Denmark.

There is no requirement for this product to meet 100% New Zealand Pork’s strict standards.  There is in fact no way the countries above could meet our standards!  The only requirement imported product must meet is to be at a frozen temperature that meets our food safety standards.
