Overview

Industry

Agriculture

The Ingham’s Waitoa branded products are made from certified free range chickens grown in the Waikato region. All Waitoa farms are independently audited by the SPCA to meet the highest animal welfare standards in New Zealand. The Waitoa free range products are sold to retail, quick-service restaurants (QSRs), food service/wholesale customers throughout New Zealand. It is also exported in small quantities. The procurement criteria for the feed rations are optimised to minimise the feed conversion ratio and to reduce our overall feed consumed.


The Waitoa brand products are offered either fresh or frozen. The fresh products include plain and seasoned whole chickens, portions and fillets (including chicken kebabs) manufactured at a primary processing plant as well as smallgoods (sausages), which are contract-manufactured. The frozen products are manufactured at a further processing site and include chicken burgers, Cordon Bleu, Chicken Kiev, chicken tenders and nuggets. Frozen products go through further processing, such as mincing, forming, coating, filling, frying and freezing.


Fresh products in trays or bags include: Breast fillets, thigh fillets, drumsticks, diced chicken breast, sausages, whole birds, family roasts (seasoned), butterfly chicken (seasoned) and kebabs.


Frozen products in retail boxes include: Chicken burgers (including gluten-free), Cordon Bleu, Chicken Kiev, Tenders (including gluten-free) and Nuggets (including gluten-free).


The Let’s Eat brand products are plant-based meat-alternatives made from wheat and pea proteins and are approved by the NZ Vegetarian Society. These products are manufactured at a further processing plant, through processes such as mixing, forming, coating, frying and freezing.
