Tenderform Burgers 
Aberdeen Angus 
Interleaved burgers have a layer of food
grade paper between each one. Suitable
for the fast food market.
The most premium burgers, with the
meat being ‘built’ in a series of columns,
giving a premium, more juicy and tender
feel, more akin to a steak than a burger.
Rather than the more standard method
where the minced meat is pressed
together and compacted.
Aberdeen Angus is a renowned beef
breed revered for its flavour and texture.
It also gives a fantastic point of difference
and premium on menus. These burgers
are also tenderform.
Chilled featuring Birchstead 
21 Day Aged
Prime Meats offers a selection
of chilled burgers, including the
Birchstead 21 Day matured British
burger. The most premium product in
our range, offering exceptional taste
and eating quality.

Brakes frozen burgers are produced by integrated suppliers
using beef from Irish and British farms. By being fully integrated
it means that the livestock is slaughtered, processed and
packed by the same supplier enabling 100% traceability back to
the farm animal. This Farm to Fork approach guarantees that
nothing other than beef enters the supply chain.
Bord Bia and Origin Green
Bord Bia, the Irish Food Board working in
conjunction with the Carbon Trust in the UK have
developed a carbon footprint calculation model
specifically for beef farming in Ireland.
In a further initiative Origin Green is a system whereby Irish
food processors are voluntarily engaging in a sustainability
programme with independently verified set targets to reduce
environmental impact, serve local communities and protect
the extraordinarily rich natural resources that Ireland enjoys.
The ever-growing numbers of members committed to Origin
Green are developing more stringent ways of working to
enable them to see 100% of Ireland’s food and drink exports on
the road to sustainability by 2016.
Irish beef is a product of the unique Irish landscape where good
drainage and abundant rainfall provide wonderful grass for
the livestock. Such perfect grazing conditions afforded by the
longest grass growing season in Europe give the meat a rich
burgundy colour.
Compliance is verified by means of independent auditing.
