PRESS RELEASE 11th June 2010
Starts
DUNBIA, FIRST RED MEAT FIRM TO GAIN GUARANTEED IRISH STATUS
Leading meat processor, Dunbia, has confirmed its commitment to local produce, by becoming the first red meat processing company in Ireland to gain the ‘Guaranteed Irish’ accreditation.
Dunbia, which has two sites in the Republic of Ireland located in Kilbeggan and Slane, employs around 250 people across its sites in the South, successfully met the strict guidelines to qualify for the accreditation in May 2010.
General Manager for Dunbia’s ROI operations, Padraig Browne, said:
“Dunbia fully understands and supports the aims and objectives of ‘Guaranteed Irish’ and wanted to get involved. We are fully committed to sustaining and developing our business in Ireland and by displaying the ‘Guaranteed Irish’ logo on our products clearly highlights and showcases our commitment to this. We are delighted to gain this accreditation and hope it has some mileage in increasing awareness and demand for top quality, Irish meat products.”
Dunbia officially launched its support of the ‘Guaranteed Irish’ scheme at its factory shop in Kilbeggan where there is an extensive range of top quality Irish meat products on offer. The products carry the ‘Guaranteed Irish’ logo as well as wall displays to further increase consumer awareness.
The second phase for Dunbia is to promote the ‘Guaranteed Irish’ logo on all products despatched from the factory. Dunbia (Kilbeggan) currently exports 90% of its products to 15 countries which will be fantastic exposure for the scheme and a mark of guarantee that Dunbia’s products are 100% Irish.
Tom Rea, Executive Director for Guaranteed Irish, commented:
“We are delighted to be associated with Dunbia, the first red meat processing company to gain the accreditation, and look forward to working together to promote ‘Guaranteed Irish’ in home and export markets.”
Councillor Paul Daly, also at the launch, said:
“It’s great to see businesses like Dunbia continuing to develop in Co Westmeath, safeguarding employment for local people, now and in the future. In these tough economic times, we rely on companies like Dunbia to continue to develop and invest in the future, securing jobs and generating money for the local economy.”

| The ShelfLife Buy Irish Survey |
Recent research has provided conclusive results that the vast majority of Irish grocery shoppers want to purchase Irish food at every opportunity and favour the introduction of a label to identify food as Irish.
A new independent survey carried out by ShelfLife magazine reveals that over 90% of shoppers say they try to buy Irish food when shopping. Traceability is very important for shoppers with over 9 out of 10 saying it is important to know where their food came from. What is also clear from the survey is that Irish people would like to buy Irish and would like to think that by doing so they are supporting Irish Goods.

| A Marketing Tool in Today's EU |
| The success of Guaranteed Irish has been noticed as far away as Poland, where a similar service is being established. Guaranteed Irish has been asked to attend a seminar in Warsaw and explain how we created an organisation to promote domestic excellence. With Polish accession to the EU in May, the Polish service will ensure that the nation has a competitive advantage at home as well as an opportunity to market goods and services throughout the EU. |

| Guaranteed Irish opposed to ‘Made in the EU’ label. |
Guaranteed Irish is concerned over the European Commission’s proposed initiative to ensure all products manufactured in the EU carry a mandatory “Made in the EU” label.
The European Commission is still deciding whether to draw up a formal proposal but if it is taken further, traditional national origin marks could be replaced with a generic EU mark. Guaranteed Irish believes that this approach would meddle with market forces and the freedom to choose by both the manufacturer and the consumer. Many of our members trade on the Irishness and to label products ‘Made in EU’ will as we see it devalue Irish products.
Loosing the opportunity of letting the final consumer know the origin of what he or she is going to buy, is a restriction for many of our manufacturers.
If this proposal is taken forward, Guaranteed Irish will lobby the EU vigorously on behalf of its members.
