Quality Standards

From our high-quality meat, to our ever-growing list of food ingredients we ban, we take pride in what we do sell and even more in what we don’t. Most important of all, we’re pushing to make those standards higher and higher every day..

In our Meat department, you’ll find animal welfare standards for fresh beef, pork, chicken and more.

Banning 300+ food ingredients storewide is a good standard to live by.

What we sell is as important as what we don’t. That’s why our standards prohibit over 300 preservatives, flavours, colours, sweeteners and other ingredients from all food we sell. Even better, our banned list continues to grow.
