Reflecting on my 25-year tenure managing Eville & Jones, I recognise that establishing a monopoly supplier position in 2015 was a strategic misstep. Monopolies often lead to reduced competition, stifled innovation, and potential complacency, ultimately affecting service quality and efficiency. I commend the Food Standards Agency's (FSA) recent decision to diversify its supplier base for meat inspection services. The allocation of significant contracts to alternative providers, including HallMark Veterinary & Compliance Services, introduces healthy competition, fosters innovation, and enhances service quality across the industry. HallMark's recent success in securing contracts for Official Control and Meat Inspection services under Lot 4 and Lot 8 of the FSA tenders underscores their commitment to maintaining high standards of food safety and animal welfare across the UK. This strategic move by the FSA reflects a sensible approach to mitigating the risks associated with monopoly suppliers. By engaging alternative providers, the FSA is fostering a more resilient and efficient system, ultimately benefiting public health and the meat production industry. #FoodSafety #PublicHealth #VeterinaryServices #Innovation #Competition #MeatIndustry #FSA #HallMarkVCS

Did you know? Poultry farms play a crucial role in reducing antibiotic misuse by adhering to strict biosecurity standards. Yet, many small-scale producers struggle to maintain these measures due to high costs. At Meatheroes, we are committed to sourcing from farms that prioritize ethics, animal welfare, and food safety. Every piece of meat you buy from us supports healthier practices across the industry. #meatheroes #realmeatheroes #poultryindustry #biosecurity #chicken #egg #fresh #quality #sustainability #standards

Europe’s Contradicting Reality: Food safety, environmental impact and animal welfare ???? While in some countries, such as the Netherlands, the topic of less animal protein is heavily discussed, consumer demand for animal products such as #milk , #eggs and #meat is growing rapidly internationally. This high demand has contributed to higher feed prices over the past few years. However, in contrast to this demand, food production is becoming increasingly difficult and productivity is declining due to various legislations on topics such as food safety, environmental impact and animal welfare. ??Read the article here?? https://lnkd.in/dqZhJ65N #feed #sustainability #animalwelfare #FoodQuality

I recently shared that Evermore Pet Food became the first commercially prepared food to achieve full compliance with the Better Chicken Commitment and attained G.A.P. Step 4 certification.
