Traditional Butchering

Butchering is a lost art. Our family started by processing chickens in 1995, training a good number of our staff to butcher meat a certain way. We’re fortunate; employee turnover is very low, maybe the lowest statistic in the industry, something to be proud of. Our team of eighteen employees have been working together for a long time, making us efficient at what we do.

Federally Incorporated

Aliments Desautels Foods Inc. is a Federally Incorporated business, registered with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency Establishment Number 554. As such, we meet and surpass federal regulations, are inspected on a regular basis, and barcode all of the meat we process at our plant for safety, traceability, and control to prevent product cross-contamination. Our families assurance of high-quality standards.

Warehousing

In a word, we have none! All of our meats are butchered traditionally, cut to order, processed and delivered the same day. No one can beat that level of freshness. We do have refrigerated and climate controlled stockrooms where we store items for the short term. Our product control mechanisms ensure a high turnover of inventory and freshness.

HACCP Accredited

HACCP is an industry acronym meaning “Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point,” referring to an adopted approach to food safety that is systematic and preventive. A global standard recommended by the Codex Alimentarius Commission, the United Nations international standards organization for food safety. HACCP is the current standard for meat safety, established in Canada in 2005. For more information on HACCP, visit the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

Protecting the Environment

Today the environment is on the tip of everyone’s tongue; people are searching for alternatives. At Aliments Desautels Foods Inc. we’re farmers at heart, we use all the meat we process, there is no waste.

Quality and freshness is our Trademark!

In a simplified explanation, to prevent cross-contamination of meat; the items are separated and processed in different rooms. A corridor divides each section, so beef is prepared in one area, chicken in another.

Using beef as an example again, if a client requests meat that is Halal. The station is cleaned and disinfected before the specified meat is brought in for processing.

What does Halal mean?
Halal means permissible in Arabic and refers to foods that are prepared and processed according to Islamic law.
