Maple Leaf Foods produces approximately 40% of the pork that we process, with the balance largely coming from contractual producers. Within our operations, Maple Leaf Foods adheres to a number of standards, including:

• National Farm Animal Care Council (“NFACC”) Codes of Practice
• American Meat Institute (“AMI”) Animal Handling Guidelines
• Canadian Quality Assurance and Animal Care Assessment Program

The transportation of all animals must adhere to regulatory standards. All drivers transporting hogs to our processing plants must be certified in Transport Quality Assurance® (“TQA”) or have Canadian Livestock Transport (“CLT”) Certification or equivalent.
