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:
More than 1,200 abortions on Island since change in law
Warning over flare disposal after amenity site fire
Drug-driver jailed after passenger injured in crash
Suspended sentence for 56-year-old in cannabis supply case
Owner of a block of flats fined for failing to meet fire safety regulations
