Foyle Meats is one of the most reliable and successful slaughter and de-boning facilities in the UK and Ireland. Established in 1976, the facility has a processing capacity of 1,500 cattle and 12,000 lambs per week. It currently provides employment for 260 people.
Foyle Meats has recently employed the latest in lamb de-boning techniques with the introduction of automatic saws for splitting carcases. The fluid movement generated by the saw results in a clean cut to the carcase, dramatically reducing bone dust and subsequently generating a better finished product with extended shelf life.
We have a solid reputation for producing high specification boneless lamb primals such as racks, boneless legs and PAD products for our customers across Europe.
Our beef de-boning facility boasts state of the art technology. The carcases are de-boned on a moving line with the assistance of a mechanical boning system. Through this technique, primal shelf life is increased, providing our customers with an end product that can be conserved for a longer period.
Both our slaughter halls are fully equipped to the highest in industry standards (EFSIS higher level). Prior to chilling, all carcases undergo HVES which reduces the maturation time required and enhances the eating quality of our meat.
