Marfrig starts processing organic meat in Brazil

Marfrig announced this Monday, January 2, that it started to process organic meat at its unit located in Hulha Negra, in Rio Grande do Sul, with raw material coming from the company’s plant in Uruguay.

The organic meat comes from animals fed exclusively on pasture, free of synthetic fertilizers, anabolic hormones, and growth stimulants, Marfrig said in a statement.

The product also has a lower level of intramuscular fat and cholesterol, which, according to the company, leads to a healthier diet.

The first shipment of organic meat arrived at Hulha Negra in August 2022. After processing at the Rio Grande do Sul plant, the protein is redirected to the international market. In September 2022, the company made the first shipment of this product to the United States, one of the largest consumers in the world.
