[QUOTE="Old Boar, post: 4142086, member: 2957"] The following from one of the emails from RT:- [I]For you interest as an example, these are the steps in the assurance chain for beef, at each step the correct animal welfare and/or food hygiene certificates must be held as well as being a Red Tractor licensee or scheme member. Each step is accompanied by documentation invoices, receipts, certificates etc verifying the provenance. • Red Tractor Farm Assurance member • Transport • Abattoir • Cutting plant • Catering butcher – (we don’t license individual butchers or deli counters as it would not be possible to confirm the eligibility of the meat) • Processing uncooked i.e. mince • Processing cooked i.e. cooked sliced meat • Wholesaler [/I] So it looks like the certification and document trail ends at the wholesaler. This is not what has been advertised. [I]The Red Tractor logo confirms that our independent assessors have checked food or drink meets our comprehensive standards, from farms to fork. [/I] I am not after the farm (a 50 mile radius would do) but I am taking this further as what they are advertising is not true. I am giving RT one more chance to explain this discrepancy. I will keep you updated when I hear something. [/QUOTE]
