Published purpose

This project aims to modernize the Jacques Forget Ltée meat processing facility and processes to meet halal and kosher certification requirements. Improvements include improved control of slaughter practices, enhanced staff training and oversight, and redesigned animal handling layouts to reduce animal stress and ensure their ethical treatment. New equipment and automation acquisitions will increase production efficiency, reduce errors, and improve food safety by lowering contamination risk. Together, these upgrades will strengthen credibility with religious certification authorities, and support access to growing their kosher and halal markets.
