Where do the pork by-products come from?

Who imports the goods into China?

Teijsen does, through its own import company in China. Plant selection, documentation and delivery are handled by one organisation.

What specifications do you work with?

Each item has its own specification for trim, weight range, cleaning and packing, set with the plant and confirmed per lot. Ask our sales team for the current sheet.

Can you source pork items that are not on the list?

Yes, on request. Tell us the item, the volume and the origin you prefer and we check availability with our approved plants.

The approval list comes first.

A pork by-product only has value in China if the plant that produced it is PRC-approved for pork. That is our first filter, before specification or price. We work mainly with European and South American plants, many of which also supply our natural hog casings. How we audit and trace them is on the quality page.

Nineteen items, each specified per lot.

Front feet, hocks and heads are bought on weight range and trim; bones on meat content; offal such as tongues, hearts and kidneys on cleaning and packing. We set each specification with the plant and confirm it per lot before shipment. Ask for the current sheet for the items you need, or see the meat products overview for beef and other species.

What a pork by-product has to deliver

In China a pork foot, hock or head is not a by-product; it is a product with its own price and its own quality standard. The buyer judges it on three things. Approval: the plant must be PRC-approved for pork, or the goods do not clear. Specification: trim, weight range and cleaning must match what the local market pays for. Consistency: the fifth container must look like the first. Teijsen sources on all three, from plants we know, with specifications confirmed per lot.

How we source
