Franconian Provenance
Provenance You Can Trust
At Franconian, provenance is not a marketing statement – it is a fundamental part of how we operate. Every cut of meat we use is carefully sourced, fully traceable and backed by trusted supply partners who share our commitment to animal welfare, sustainability and food integrity. We believe our customers deserve complete confidence in where their food comes from, which is why we work only with suppliers who uphold the highest standards at every stage – from farm to finished product.
Pork – Responsibly Sourced
Our pork is sourced from carefully selected UK supply partners who place a strong emphasis on animal welfare, traceability and responsible farming practices.
The pork we use is RSPCA Assured, meaning it comes from farms working to recognised welfare standards set by the RSPCA. It also abides by Red Tractor standards, supporting trusted sourcing, food safety, traceability and consistent production across the supply chain.
By working closely with experienced suppliers and farmers, we can ensure a reliable supply of high-quality pork that is responsibly produced, fully traceable and aligned with the standards expected by today’s foodservice, hospitality and wholesale customers.
Beef – Premium Scotch Provenance
Our beef is sourced from Scotch Beef, widely recognised for its superior quality, taste and texture. Produced under strict, independently audited welfare standards and predominantly grass-fed systems, it delivers exceptional consistency and depth of flavour. With Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status, Scotch Beef must be born, reared and processed in Scotland, ensuring complete traceability and a product of genuine provenance.
A Standard We Stand By
By working closely with trusted partners across pork and beef, we ensure every ingredient that goes into a Franconian product meets the same uncompromising standards. From full traceability and responsible farming to high welfare and consistent quality, our supply chain is carefully managed at every stage. Our sourcing is also supported by Red Tractor assurance, providing independent verification that key standards covering food safety, animal welfare and environmental protection are being met. It is this commitment to provenance that underpins the flavour, consistency and confidence our customers expect from every product we produce.
