QUALITY ASSURANCE
Andrews Meat Industries (AMI) maintains a comprehensive quality assurance program ensuring product safety and care at every stage of the supply chain.
Our QA team guarantees integrity, safety and credibility across all products.
We hold our business partners and suppliers to the same exacting standards we set for ourselves, and are firmly focused on customer and consumer satisfaction.
Our QA team upholds strict food safety standards including Good Manufacturing Practices and HACCP Plans. We undergo rigorous independent audits from authorities including NSW Food Authority, AUS-MEAT and Halal certifiers. Our fully HACCP-controlled plant exceeds customer quality expectations.
We continuously improve production methods for better quality, consistency and shelf life. Products are stored, transported and picked in temperature-controlled environments, with advanced remote monitoring ensuring optimal conditions. Our refrigerated waste management areas reduce odour and minimise environmental impacts.
We integrate food safety and quality into all business practices. Allergens are managed in controlled environments, and we offer specialty products for dietary requirements including gluten free sausages and phosphates/nitrite free smallgoods.
Our traceability systems guarantee quality across the supply chain. We track products from farm to plate, enabling verification of packers, brands, grading, portion size and eating quality while consistently delivering excellence.
