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:
Lessons learned after snow day confusion
More than 100 firearms surrendered
Planning application to extend TT hospitality tent for new Food and Drink Festival submitted
'No tangible positives' achieved by public sector integrity line, says trade union
