The Woolworths Difference: Ostrich

We only use approved abattoirs and suppliers who comply with strict criteria relating to standards of hygiene; structure and maintenance; total quality management; and ethics. 

All the meat we use is sourced from a select and limited number of abbatoirs and suppliers who share our values and with whom we have a long-term, mutually beneficial relationship.

Our abattoirs and suppliers undergo annual independent audits on hygiene standards and people ethics. They are also regularly visited by the Woolworths technical team.

Our suppliers perform constant checks on the temperature of raw materials, pH levels post slaughter, micro-organism and bacteria counts of raw materials, and processing areas.

Animal Welfare is a high priority and we do have regular audits at farms and abattoirs to ensure that the animals are treated as humanely as possible.

We don’t want you to be confused about what meat you’re eating, so we specify the grade of meat on every product. Our meat is also traceable to the abattoir.
