Feed
Sourcing assurance, baked in.
Every lot follows FSA traceability guidance. No mystery pallets. You see the grade, the date and the cold chain before you offer.
Batch docs + traceability
Batch codes, allergen labelling and HACCP notes travel with every lot, e.g. FW-001 ships with bakery batch sheets and pallet manifests.
COA & spec sheets
Human-grade and feed lots come with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) or spec sheet - moisture, protein, allergen and micro results. Request the COA against any lot before you offer.
BBE grading with urgency flags
Lots under 5 days BBE get a tomato urgency pill so charities and secondary makers can prioritise. See short-date picks.
Chilled proof
Chilled Cat3 streams like FW-015 chicken trim and FW-018 fish frames list storage temps and collection windows. No broken chains.
Buyers on the Exchange
"We replaced a third of our bought-in blend with biscuit meal and brewer's grain. £40k saved last quarter, and the paperwork was spot on."
"Our spent grain used to cost us gate fees. Now a feed mill collects within 48 hours, every brew. It's clockwork."
"The BBE flags are gold for us. We grabbed 3,000 yoghurt pots and 2.5 tonnes of loaf with days to spare, straight to families in Leeds."
