Start with origin
Include any regional or British provenance requirements in your initial brief, along with the product and intended use.
Sourcing & provenance
Know what you are buying, and why.

Sourcing & provenance
Your requirements.
A clear specification.
Midland Foods’ long-standing approach is to source locally where possible. If origin or assurance is part of your purchasing brief, discuss it with the team for the exact products you intend to buy.
Availability, provenance and supporting information can vary between lines. Agree these details before committing a product to your menu or tender.
Check the evidence
Ask for the product-specific assurance and traceability documents required by your purchasing policy.
Confirm the line
Discuss origin, breed, assurance options and availability against the specification and quantities you need.
