Seven stages01

Seven stages, one temperature.

The Rizq Meats cold chain is a seven-stage corridor from an abattoir in Pakistan to a customer dock in Saudi Arabia, on which temperature is logged continuously and the record is published rather than claimed.

  1. 01

    Slaughter and dressing

    Every animal Rizq Meats ships is slaughtered by hand to halal rite and dressed on the same line. The carcass is weighed, tagged and entered against a lot number before it leaves the floor.

    Chilling and grading

    Carcasses enter the chiller within the hour and are held there until core temperature settles into band. A grader assesses conformation and fat cover before anything is released to packing.

    Halal certification and veterinary clearance

    A halal certificate and a veterinary health certificate are issued against the lot number, not against the shipment. Rizq Meats can produce both documents for any delivery on request.

    Sealed loading

    SV-LHE-000000

    The reefer is pre-chilled before loading and sealed once at origin. Rizq Meats records the seal number on the delivery note, and the seal is broken in front of the receiving buyer.

    Transit

    Air freight

    A data logger travels inside the load and records temperature for the whole crossing. Rizq Meats publishes the widest excursion recorded this year rather than claiming there were none.

    Arrival, inspection and clearance

    On arrival in Saudi Arabia the load is inspected and cleared against the same lot documentation issued at origin. The logger is downloaded before the doors are opened for offloading.

    Cold store to your dock

    Dammam and Jeddah

    Rizq Meats holds cleared product in its own cold store and delivers in refrigerated vehicles. Temperature is read and signed for at the dock, by the buyer, before the load is accepted.

Published data02
  • Temperature held

    −1.5 °C to 1 °C

    Rizq Meats holds product within this band from the chiller at the abattoir to the customer dock, logged continuously.

  • Widest excursion this year

    1 °C

    The single widest temperature deviation recorded across all Rizq Meats shipments this year. It stayed within tolerance, and it is published because a supplier who shows an imperfection is easier to check than one who claims none.

  • Transit time

    8–22 hours

    Actual transit time on the Rizq Meats corridor from Pakistan to Saudi Arabia, from shipment records rather than from a schedule.

  • Dock rejection rate

    0.2 %

    The share of Rizq Meats deliveries rejected by a buyer at the dock, on any ground, over the last twelve months.

What we do not do

  • Rizq Meats does not supply frozen meat. Product that has been frozen at any point is not sold as chilled, and no load is frozen to extend its life.
  • Rizq Meats does not publish a price list. Livestock cost and freight both move, and a published price on a chilled import is out of date before a buyer reads it.
  • Rizq Meats does not guarantee a fixed daily volume during Hajj and Ramadan. Demand and freight capacity both tighten, and a supplier promising unchanged volume in those weeks is promising something the corridor cannot hold.
  • Rizq Meats does not sell to consumers. The minimum order is set for hotels, caterers and food service operators, and there is no retail counter.
