Red Tractor Assurance Scheme

We are part of the Red Tractor Assurance Scheme, the UK’s largest farm and food standards scheme. It’s the standard-bearer for guaranteeing the highest standards of food production and also a prerequisite to supply many purchasers of consumer food products. We’re currently rolling out the Red Tractor Scheme across all of our suppliers in Northern Ireland. We have our own Red Tractor team that supports the farmers with all aspects of the scheme from food safety to animal welfare, environmental protection, traceability and sustainability.
