New Zealand’s lush green pastures and temperate climate means our country produces some of the world’s best beef.

New Zealand is one of McDonald’s top ten beef-producing markets and it’s such a hit with the rest of the world that a significant percentage of NZ’s beef exports are to international McDonald’s markets.

We partner with many Kiwi farmers who produce our beef, including Whangara Farms which was the first beef farm outside of Europe to be invited to the McDonald’s Flagship Farmers programme.

ANZCO Foods, based in the small Taranaki town of Waitara, are responsible for making our 100% beef patties. About 90% of the staff at the Waitara plant are locals and they manage to produce around half a million patties each day.

Our quality beef cuts are minced and that’s it. No additives or fillers, just mince that is formed in patties, before they’re flash-frozen and sent to restaurants.

Vincent from Flaxmere

How does the supermarket advertise they fight for lower prices when they charge 21.99/kg for mince? Anyone who knows 3mince is knows it's the trimmings off better cuts.

How does the supermarket advertise they fight for lower prices when they charge 21.99/kg for mince? Anyone who knows 3mince is knows it's the trimmings off better cuts.
Topside steak I'd only 21.49. So how do supermarkets warrant so much for a meat product that is from basically leftovers?
How is this justified when mince is a staple for low income families?

I regularly get strong cardboard boxes with my medical supplies deliveries. I have built up quite a stash and looking to rehome them. They are very strong, designed to carry fluid bags (very dense weight) while having several boxes stacked on top of each other. Also, because I have so many of the same size, they are excellent for efficient stacking!
Some quite big ones are even double walled!
