Unlike other artificial sausage casings, all our sausages are naturally cased and unequal in taste, texture, and tenderness.

In-House Dry Age Room
DRY AGED BEEF
Crave steak that ignites taste buds and sets tongues wagging? Step into PDL's dedicated dry-ageing chamber, where we transform prime cuts into culinary legends.
Your dry-aged steak, your way. Our meat is aged according to customer requirements; however, we highly recommend no less than four weeks, as the process takes two weeks to initiate.
Our new pre-cut dry-aged program allows customers to order when needed. Dry age loins are cut in steaks to a set size, vacuum-sealed, and then stocked for customers.
Integrated Flavors
VACUUM TUMBLED MEAT
Our designated pork and poultry tumbling room ensures that our marinated meats are guaranteed to have superior flavour. The tumbling process takes marinating to a new level as an alternative to marinating meat by simply coating it. Using a vacuum to open the meat's pores allows the marinade to saturate the cut and for the full flavour to enter the heart rather than just on the outside.
At PDL, we offer custom tumbling services to our customers. Foodservice customers can provide flavourings and recipes to ensure their consumer offerings are unique and unmistakably tasty, leaving patrons returning for more.
Safety Measures
MEAT SHOP SAFETY
In every step of the PDL manufacturing and meat processing program, preventative safety measures are implemented to reduce the risk of contamination.
As part of our food safety initiative, we practice daily to recognise the potential problem of foreign materials in meat products . Metal scraps and shards in meat are a particular concern in the industry, where possible materials entering the product can occur at any point in the supply chain process. Burgers, sausages, and ground meat all pass through a metal detector before availability for customers to purchase. As part of our in-house health and safety program, our meat blends are regularly checked to guarantee consumer safety.
While the FDA puts a size of 7mm as the limit for an “acceptable size” of foreign material, PDL has recently installed an Eriez Xxtreme Metal Detector to detect foreign materials as low as 1.2mm. The equipment can detect ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals, and stainless steel.
Our compliance with food safety and regulations ensures heightened food quality standards for our customers, reducing the risk of potential threats passed onto the final consumer.
