Dew Valley from Tipperary is to supply all of Ireland’s McDonald’s restaurants with bacon. Product was previously sourced from the UK.
According to The Irish Times that means a delivery of up to 9 milion pieces of cooked bacon, which is 36 tonnes a year.
Whilst details of the deal were not disclosed reports indicate it may be worth, over five years, around 3 million euros.
The Irish Times quoted McDonald’s Ireland managing director, Adrian Crean, saying the company was: “Committed to supporting the Irish agri-food sector,” and Dew Valley’s owner, Jack Blake, said he hoped the new contract would: “Open new doors of opportunity for the company in overseas markets.”
