Supplementary memorandum submitted by
Waitrose (Pigs 05a)
CARCASE BALANCE
During the oral evidence session the Chairman
of the Committee asked for Waitrose to provide additional information
on the level of carcase balance which is being achieved from the
integrated Waitrose pig supply chain.
We have examined the data available and over
the last year the average figure we are achieving on a weekly
basis is 88%. This is detailed below:
Waitrose own label sales (pork, bacon, sausage) 57%
Sales to partnering suppliers (manufacturers
of Waitrose cooked meats, pies, pizzas, ready meals, ready to
cook products) 31%
