BUTCHERS EXPECT BEEFBURGER SALES

Scottish butchers are keen to assure their customers that when they label their burgers, if it says beef burgers it is beef that they contain.

Beef burgers sold in Scottish butchers shops are made on the premises with high visual lean beef. The same beef that they slice steaks and joints from. Some will augment that with boneless beef purchased from reputable local Wholesalers and very often backed by the quality assurances behind the Scotch Beef label.

The person serving you your burger will have seen, if not even made, these beef burgers and if any further assurances are needed they can be quizzed on traceability of ingredients and the source of the beef.

A typical butchers beef burger is made from lean beef and seasoning. The product is nutritious and tasty. For that reason butchers are stepping up production and expecting to sell even more in the coming weeks.
