Talkington Bates Achieves Red Tractor Status
by Sam Rooke - 28/06/2011
"Talkington Bates has achieved Red Tractor accreditation for its beef, lamb, pork, chicken and turkey in a move that will give reassurance of the quality of its personal contract catering service."
The Red Tractor scheme, which is run by Assured Food Standards (AFS), is a guarantee for consumers that food has been produced, transported, processed and packed to a rigid set of assured standards.
It provides a system that can trace food right back to the farm where it was produced – a pledge backed up with regular inspections conducted by the AFS, an independent organisation set up to manage and develop the Red Tractor initiative.
Paul Bates, Talkington Bates’ Group Managing Director, said: “We are delighted to be part of this scheme which has united the food chain in raising standards and verifying that they are being met.
“We believe in supporting high standards of food production and this issue is also something that many of our clients and their customers are concerned about. They will welcome the quality reassurance that accreditation for the Red Tractor scheme provides – it is also a visible symbol of our high standards.”
The new accreditation means that Talkington Bates’ contract catering sites are now able to display the Red Tractor logo which is instantly recognised by diners as an endorsement of quality standards throughout the food chain.
Launched in 2000, the scheme brings together farmers and growers who are committed to maintaining high standards in terms of food safety, hygiene, animal welfare and environmental protection.
