Cargill's new antibiotic-free pork
Cargill Meat Solutions recently announced the
introduction of Good Nature pork.
Cargill, the Wichita, Kansas-based processor's new all-natural,
antibiotic-free pork brand is available to both retail and foodservice
operators.
Family farms, antibiotic-free
The new brand, Good Nature pork comes from hogs raised on family farms in
the Midwest. According to Cargill, the animals selected for the programme are
never administered antibiotics, growth stimulants or hormones.
Strict natural standards
The company also upholds strict natural standards, which state that: Good
Nature pork is minimally processed and has no artificial ingredients. One of the
company's processing innovations for the Good Nature pork brand is the use of
air chilling.
The air chilling helps with ensuring the product's colour, tenderness and
moisture levels, the firm says.
