Tarlac Meatmasters’ meat facility sets AAA record in the Philippines

The AAA rating is the highest standard given by the NMIS to meat establishments in the country. Facilities with this rating meet international benchmarks and are HACCP-certified, making their products suitable for global markets.

Only eight slaughterhouses and ten meat cutting plants nationwide hold AAA status, underscoring the rarity of this achievement.

Commitment to quality and safety

“We take great pride in Tarlac Meatmasters for achieving this significant milestone,” said Hendel Cabral, Aboitiz Foods First Vice President of Meat Division. “This reflects the team’s dedication to pursuing shared wins for quality and food safety standards.”

He added that as the first facility in the Philippines to earn this distinction, Tarlac Meatmasters continues to uphold excellence and push industry standards forward. This achievement reinforces customer confidence in Pilmico Farm’s commitment to delivering safe and high-quality meat products.

The facility also holds six HACCP certifications from the NMIS.
