DEFA boss wants local produce to stand out
A new initiative is seeking to make it clearer for shoppers to purchase genuine Manx meat.
The Department of Environment, Food and Agriculture is launching a charter for meat suppliers who rear and slaughter their products 100% locally - with those who do being given a clear, universal label of provenance.
Suppliers who sign up to the charter can also have samples scientifically analysed to verify their authenticity.
DEFA Minister Geoffrey Boot says it will be a 'great marketing opportunity' for butchers, and make it easier for consumers:
Storm Dave to bring severe gales
Manx Care 'attempting to establish contact' with dental provider as patients face uncertainty
'Significant dredging works' in Douglas Harbour
'Operational reasons' and tidal restrictions delay Heysham sailing schedule
