Health and Quality
Our test and release programme means customer health is never at risk. Products are sold as ‘ready to eat’ and are not released to the market until confirmed verification that they meet the NZ Food Safety Standards.

Farm-to-table
We source our meat from accredited abattoirs within New Zealand and Australia. Testing is carried out regularly to meet food standards before distributing to our customers.

Meet Fiona Breed, our Compliance Manager
Upon completing my BSc (Hons) degree in Biology and Geography in England, I began working for a multinational biotech company in London, focusing on Production, Quality, and R&D. Five years later, I relocated to Auckland with my Kiwi husband.
I spent the best part of 15 years in Auckland, working initially in Quality for the Biotech Industry and then finally taking the plunge into the Food Industry 12 years ago. My role as a Senior Quality Manager for one of the oldest and largest food manufacturers in New Zealand enabled me to gain valuable experience in food manufacturing, and a wide range of different auditing standards.
Six years ago, we moved to Tauranga with our 4 children for a better work life balance where I have been at Simply Meats since 2020 as the Compliance Manager. When I’m not at work, I can be found helping at my kid’s school or on the sideline at various sports across town.
