Shortage of Manx Pork

Andreas Meats will be using UK pork loins for its bacon and hams following a shortage of Manx pork.

The local meat company said this is due to the shortage of Manx pork, and the pork currently available from IOM Meats is no longer to its specification.

It says the loins are smaller and not suitable for producing the high quality bacon the public expect from Andreas Meats.

Andreas Meats added: “All our bacon and hams will continue to be processed right here on the island, using our own traditional recipes and curing methods to ensure the same great flavour and quality.”

All other meat from Andreas Meats, including pork and beef used in our other products, “remains 100% Manx, proudly sourced and prepared locally”.
