Export Operations

As Co-Chief Executive Officers of American Foods Group, we want to take this opportunity to express our commitment, and the commitment of the employees of American Foods,to providing the export marketplace the most consistent and highest quality products. Because we have exported meat products internationally for over 30 years, we have grown to understand the complexities and expectations of the export marketplace.

We are very proud of the fact that many of our products set the industry standard for meat from the United States. Our success is based on implementing the highest standards in every aspect of our day-to-day operations.

Concern for food safety drives our success. At American Foods, we realize that nothing is more important than producing safe, wholesome meat for our customers worldwide. Safe meat starts with the producers who raise cattle specifically for the export marketplace.

Cattle Procurement

• Selection of high quality Midwest sourced cattle custom fed to our specifications
• Routine auditing by American Foods’ cattle procurement staff at feed lots to insure that cattle selected by American Foods are healthy and meet quality standards
• Tracking of cattle age through birth certificate or dentition / ossification
Our production employees receive extensive, on-going training on our food safety requirements and operating procedures. We have a state-of-the-art, on-site laboratory with a professional quality assurance staff lead by a Ph.D in Microbiology.

• Harvest facilities located in South St. Paul, Minnesota, Gibbon, Nebraska and Green Bay, Wisconsin are certified for Halal slaughter.
• Members of the Muslim faith are on site to ensure that the proper prayers are said and procedures followed.
• All meat products are supervised and inspected by either the Islamic Society of the Washington Area, Inc. (ISWA) or Islamic Services of America (ISA).
