At Whariti Meats, we are committed to animal welfare, food safety & hygiene and customer satisfaction.

We are always looking at every link in the chain, looking for ways to improve any aspect of our operation: keeping up with the latest technology, making available to our clients the latest information on food safety at home, improved stress-free methods of slaughtering etc.

As our business is growing so rapidly we are presently building an extra 7 metres onto the rear of our butchery, replacing our ceiling & relining the walls. A new rail system is being installed as well as a dry store room at the rear of the building will also open up our processing room.

To go with all this we are installing a high quality foaming and sanitizing system for thorough and effective cleaning & hygiene.

We would welcome any inspection by our animal owner clients if they wish.

First Choice Bacon, Ham & Smallgoods is another aspect of Whariti Meats.

First Choice Bacon, Ham & Smallgoods is our own registered trademark for our products. We registered First Choice Bacon, Ham & Smallgoods in 1993 Knowing full well that we were producing a consistently top quality product, First Choice seemed the obvious name. We believe we are the REAL FIRST CHOICE for farmers/animal owners.
