Frequent questions for your local butcher’s shop

We’ve gathered the answers to some common questions you may have for the local goat meat shop near you.

Q: What is organic meat?
A: Certified organic meat recognises a higher standard of animal welfare for agricultural animals. It is often free range, hormone and antibiotic free. Be careful, organic butchers near you may be more expensive as the certification process is very costly.

Q: Why does mince discolour in the middle?
A: Mince that is is bright red on the outside and grey in the middle is perfectly normal and healthy. If it is bright red in the middle, there may be preservatives in the mince. However, if you notice discolouration on the outside, it has spoiled.

Q: How are animals slaughtered humanely?
A: It depends on how humane slaughter is defined (if it even exists). Good slaughter facilities aim to minimise animal stress while guaranteeing a quick professional slaughter. For example, animals should be unconscious before being bled to death. They should also never see their fellow animals get slaughtered.
