Freson Bros. stores introduces pork with DNA traceability
Fully DNA-traceable fresh premium Alberta pork from Sturgeon Valley Pork, an Alberta, Canada, pork processor, has been introduced at all 15 Freson Bros. grocery stores in Alberta. Sturgeon Valley Farms’ Premium Alberta Pork, an exclusive joint brand with Freson Bros., is among the first Canadian meat processors to employ the state-of-the-art DNA traceability system called DNA TraceBack from IdentiGEN Canada to trace its pork from the grocer's meat case back to the processing plant and farm of origin.
"DNA TraceBack allows us to guarantee that 100 percent of Sturgeon Valley’s pork is premium Alberta pork, sourced from local farms. It is also our guarantee to Freson Bros. of the product’s high quality," said Dan Majeau, one of the principals at Sturgeon Valley Pork.
