Food Production - , England, United Kingdom
Gilbert's Foods are a family owned business, operating in a purpose-built, EC approved, BRC AA Graded meat-manufacturing plant in Heysham, Lancashire. We specialise in the manufacture of pasteurised and sterilised meat products. Designed specifically for reheating via microwave, boil-in-the-bag, bain-marie, the products offer a safe efficient and cost effective manner in which to serve meat. This removes the risk of food being under cooked and therefore reduces any risk associated with food safety. Our processes also give enhancement in flavour, texture and tenderness, resulting in products being consistent in quality. The Introduction of our sterilised process in 2009 has been a great success in the food service sector, giving caterers and wholesalers easy storage whilst still maintaining a 12 month shelf life. We currently supply products into several leading retailers, caterers and food manufacturers within the UK and more recently Australia, thanks to our Sales Team down under opening doors to the retailers and wholesalers. To sustain this success we are constantly developing our business through investment in people, products, premises and processes. Product Development - we offer a bespoke recipe development service to meet exacting customer requirements. Our development team can work to a brief, match products, make alterations to existing products, or present you with a range of ideas. We pride ourselves on a proactive and innovative approach to development, constantly researching the latest food trends and working closely with customers. Cooking for other Food Manufacturers - Gilbert's Foods are happy to build partnerships with other food manufacturers and give them a helping hand to expand on their existing product ranges.
