Westbury Street Holdings (WSH) has partnered with Bidfood to introduce a new supplier of lower-carbon, high welfare chicken mince into the foodservice sector. Legghorn will provide mince from 420-day-old breeder hen meat, often considered a ‘by-product’ of the chicken industry, which has just 1.31kg of carbon per kilo of mince.
The new partnership follows a successful trial at a number of WSH brands, including BaxterStorey, Searcys and BM Caterers. A soft launch of the product in June has seen it added to menus at eight WSH locations, with a ramp-up over the summer in collaboration with Bidfood. ]
'Higher welfare and reducing carbon'
Richard Murray, founder of Legghorn, said: “I'm incredibly grateful to be partnering with WSH and Bidfood to bring Legghorn to the foodservice sector. Their belief in our goal – to make better use of what we already have and to reduce carbon without compromising on quality – has been instrumental in getting this off the ground.”
Kevin Dunford, head of food and UK agriculture procurement for WSH, added: “The chef community across our brands have come together to work alongside procurement to really focus on higher welfare and reducing carbon in our meat supply chain. As an industry we need to think differently to solve the challenges we face.”
