Fresh
Our emphasis is on using local or UK based producers, whenever and wherever possible, producers who grow under Red Tractor or Global Gap protcols, many of which are also BRCGS approved and accredited to other retail protcols, such as LEAF, Tesco NURTURE and M&S Field to Fork.
Our primary ingredients include, but are not limited to:
Carrots
We hand-top all our carrots on-site, reducing the possibility of stones being embedded in the crop by field-topping.
As with all our products, visual inspections are carried out before being converted to meet customer specification – whole, peeled, diced, pureed and battoned.
Swede
100% UK origin, our Swede is almost solely sourced from the Tayside. There they are cleaned and trimmed at source before being delivered to our site via chilled transport, where they are then mechanically peeled to remove the skin and cut to client specification.
Onions
With occasional import from Poland, Holland and Germany, onions are peeled by hand or machine, before being diced, sliced or pureed to meet your requirements.
Potatoes
The varieties used are determined by individual customer requirements, by tuber size or region, as well as the use of washed pre-pack out-grades or unwashed full crop material.
On-site the potatoes are passed through de-stoning equipment, washed and mechanically peeled (where required) for inspection, before being cut to customer specifications – whether diced, sliced, wedged or chipped.
The potatoes are then So2 dipped, riddled (if required), inspected, bagged and metal-detected, before being stored in chilled conditions, ready for dispatch.
Sweet Potatoes
The raw material is predominantly of USA, Egyptian and RSA origin with the required tuber size dictated by our customers. As the raw material is processed with the outer skin remaining, the intake procedure receives a high level of focus.
For battered and frozen products, the potatoes are inspected at the time of processing and trimmed (where necessary) prior to be being sliced or chipped to requirement.
They are then riddled, coated in batter, fried or frozen, packaged and metal-detected before being help in freezer-storage prior to dispatch. Coatings are manufactured as per customer specifications and provided the production volume of bespoke products viable, there are option for gluten-free alternatives, additional flavourings etc.
Quality produce prepared your way:
