Introduction: Stay Ahead or Get Left Behind

The raw meat industry is going through major changes. From consumer preferences to procurement technology and sustainable sourcing, food businesses must evolve with the times to stay competitive. Here’s what’s shaping the future of meat sourcing—and how Hawks Merchant is already aligned with these trends.

1. Traceability & Transparency Are Non-Negotiable

Today’s food businesses and end consumers are demanding full transparency:

• Where did the meat come from?

• Was it ethically raised?

• Is it hormone-free and antibiotic-free?

At Hawks Merchant, every batch of raw meat comes with full traceability reports, including:

• Farm origin

• Slaughter date

• Cold chain tracking data

This boosts your brand’s credibility and helps you stay compliant with food safety regulations.

2. Custom-Cut Options for Operational Efficiency

Gone are the days of receiving generic cuts. Restaurants and butchers now expect meat suppliers to provide:

• Portion-controlled cuts

• Specific trimming requirements

• Ready-to-cook packaging

We offer customized cutting and packaging options to reduce prep time and improve kitchen efficiency.

3. Eco-Conscious & Ethical Sourcing

Sustainability isn’t just a trend—it’s a movement. Hawks Merchant partners with farms that prioritize:

• Ethical animal treatment

• Environmentally responsible practices

• Reduced carbon footprint in transportation and packaging

We’re committed to helping your business meet eco-conscious standards without compromising quality.
