Dew Valley Foods, founded in 1993 in Thurles, Co. Tipperary, is a leading producer of premium cooked bacon products. The company supplies foodservice, quick service restaurants, and manufacturing sectors across Europe and is recognised for its innovation, including being the first in Europe to use microwave cooking technology.
In 2024, Dew Valley Foods reported a significant increase in the percentage of quality assured meat purchased at farm level, rising from 89% in 2023 to 92.9%. This performance exceeded the company’s milestone target of 75%, reflecting a strong commitment to sourcing from certified and responsibly managed farms.
The company attributes this progress to the inclusion of recognised animal welfare and quality assurance standards in its procurement practices. These include certifications such as Red Tractor, Bord Bia Sustainable Assurance Schemes, and QS Qualität und Sicherheit GmbH. By prioritising suppliers that meet these standards, Dew Valley Foods has strengthened the traceability and integrity of its raw material supply chain.
This approach not only supports animal welfare and food safety but also aligns with growing customer and market expectations around transparency and responsible sourcing. The integration of multiple certification schemes has allowed the company to broaden its supplier base while maintaining high standards.
