New Zealand Littleneck Clams are sourced from a sustainably managed fishery in New Zealand’s pure Golden Bay. They are then bathed in natural seawater to release any grit before being pouched and cooked in a similar process to our mussels. Again natural flavours are captured and retained while food safety and product shelf life are enhanced. Due to the delicate Littleneck clam shell, this is a chilled product only.
We have developed an ongoing sampling programme undertaken in conjunction with New Zealand’s Cawthron Institute (New Zealand’s leading research centre for shellfish and aquaculture). The programme involves monthly microbial testing which would identify E.coli, Salmonella and Listeria if present. So far we have recorded excellent food safety results. Taste tests are performed internally.
Please note that PHR Processing Ltd meet the highest global standards for food safety, including USFDA and EU accreditation. We also hold a registered NZFSA Risk Management Plan (RMP) including HACCP.
