With the festive season upon us, the butchers and supermarkets are stocked with ham, ready to take centre stage on your Christmas dinner table.

‍

‍

How can you find New Zealand ham for Christmas?

Golden rule: If the pricing label doesn’t say NZ PORK or NZ HAM, doesn’t say 'born and raised in New Zealand' OR have one of our on-pack labels... it’s probably not New Zealand pork!

‍

Every year, the 100% New Zealand Bacon and Ham Awards find the very best of all the New Zealand products in the market. You can be assured that the stores listed below will be supplying New Zealand bacon and ham which meets PigCare Accreditation status.

 Do you know what you’re really buying?

Around 60% of the pork eaten in New Zealand comes from overseas. All these countries use farming practices that in some respects do not meet New Zealand’s animal welfare standards or are in fact illegal in this country.

Imported product may be cheaper than 100% New Zealand ham, but this is often a reflection of the different standards present in other countries, such as their animal husbandry practices, use of sow stalls, unfair wages for workers and environmental practices.  

Consumers who buy 100% New Zealand ham can be confident that it comes from pigs born and raised to the world’s highest animal welfare standards using sustainable farming practices.
