Have you ever caught yourself wondering how you can contribute to making our planet healthier while enjoying a mouth-watering piece of meat from your barbecue? Nowadays, many of us feel a twinge of guilt in the back of our minds when it comes to the environmental impact of our everyday necessities, including the food we eat.

Luckily, Coles supermarkets are taking huge steps to make this dilemma a little easier to swallow—pun intended! They have recently introduced a new 'carbon neutral' pork range in their stores across Australia, and this eco-friendly initiative is part of their broader efforts to reduce their carbon footprint.

Yes, you read it right, members! You can now add a little more 'sizzle' to your BBQ guilt-free, knowing that you're contributing to the fight against global warming.

It's refreshing to find a company like Coles going above and beyond to ensure their pork range is sustainably produced, leaving behind an environmental footprint that's as lean as their cuts of meat.

Coles announced the new products on Thursday, which are made in line with the federal government's Climate Active Carbon Neutral Standard.

Prepare yourself for a mouth-watering array of Aussie favourites. We're talking succulent rib racks, juicy cutlets, crispy schnitzels, tender diced pieces, flavourful leg roasts, sizzling porterhouses, and mouth-watering 'tomaporks'. It's a meat-lover's dream come true!

Italian food enthusiasts are in for a treat, too; Coles hasn't forgotten about you! Their new collection features a special 'Porketta'—a boneless pork delight stuffed with aromatic herbs and topped off with a crackling coating.

So, not only can you satisfy your cravings, but you can also feel good knowing that these products meet the highest standards. It's a win-win situation for both your taste buds and the planet.

Now available nationwide, this pork range is not the supermarket's first foray into carbon-neutral offerings. You may remember last year when Coles introduced a carbon-neutral beef range. What's next? Carbon-neutral lamb, chicken, maybe seafood? We'll certainly be keeping an eye out for it!

Coles has worked closely on this newest range with Western Australia's renowned Milne Agrigroup, who has been leading the charge in implementing sustainable agricultural practices. Together, they're pork-chopping the industry's carbon footprint down to size.

These practices include reducing the use of artificial fertilisers, harnessing renewable energy, and improving soil management. They are even offering free-range and RSPCA-approved pork options—a testament to their commitment to quality products and animal welfare. The partnership has resulted in their pork farms being entirely off-grid and producing 30% fewer emissions than the industry average.

Milne Agrigroup's General Manager, David Plant, expressed immense pride in providing pork enthusiasts with a range of meat that ensures not only taste but also sustainability.

'We're grateful for the guidance and support Coles has provided over the past few years as we work to reduce emissions on our farms which are now fully off-grid…' he stated.

Coles' Category Manager for Pork, Ben Beckett, also chimed in with Coles' pride in the new Carbon Neutral pork range, noting they have a 'carbon neutral footprint from farm to shelf'.

Carbon neutral for Western Australian customers. A lot of mileage for bringing it over to the eastern states.

 

[StarTrekker]

Possibly with the price to match

 

[Joyem]

I was wondering how much extra you would have to pay.

 

[ptrcrtn]

Woolworths, have had carbon neutral pork mince before coles. It's done so they can charge more for the product. It's exactly the same product that is not carbon neutral.

 

[Grant Alexander]

if your silly enough to fall for the climate scam , most small farmers are clean and green without the forced guilt trip

Key Takeaways

I would much prefer Coles (and its competitors) to revert to stocking lamb and beef offal on their shelves. It seems a long time ago since I saw lambs fry, kidneys, brains etc or ox-tail, ox kidneys or the like. Coles staff do not seem to understand what are those items. Is this the downside of cultural diversity?

No its just ignorance, Most of the younger generations are not used to the cheaper cuts of meats that our generation grew up eating. I stopped looking for Lambs fry (liver), kidneys and oxtail in any of the supermarkets and now go to a local Butcher for them. More often than not the items are frozen but at least I can still buy them, Husband only mentioned the other day that I had not cooked lambs fry with bacon and onions and mash for a while, time to go say hello to the Butcher I think

Doesn't worry me - I don't eat pork ever - it does not like me either!

 

[Penny4]

Doesn't worry me - I don't eat pork ever - it does not like me either!

That's easy and will save you $. Millions of people around the world don't eat pork either.

 

[Maccaroons]

We have been buying the premium beef porterhouse since it came out. But we have noticed that the overall quality of the product has declined over time. It is nearly to the point that the premium product is not a lot better than the cheaper porterhouse.

Given up trying to work out what is true and what is not with all that we’re being told by supermarkets about new products, ‘hasn’t got this, has now got that etc.’ I read recently some SDC members saying some meats from the big supermarkets were all pumped full of water. What’s the option now, so we just buy what we can afford and like to eat, including chicken. Many will disagree with me and bring in the argument of ‘free-range’ etc but how do we know if what we are buying is truly what it says. Free range eggs - are they really? Free range chicken - are they really? We’re not there to see so can’t be sure. And I also have an aversion for any and all offal cuts/products including liver, oxtail, kidney and brain anyhow, so have never cooked them. Just my preference though. Haven’t seen them for a long time in the shops.

I haven't heard or bought meat that was pumped with water from supermarkets. I'm told that the supermarkets have to adhere to more stringent meat guidelines compared to butchers. I do know that local Council health inspectors check supermarket meat deli's and their packed meat sitting on the shelves. They get massive fines if they don't do the correct standards.
Yes, they sell offal. Raw cat feeders buy it, including myself as I make my cat's raw meals. You probably don't realise it's all sitting there in Woolworths. Aldi doesn't stock it, only chicken necks. Coles stock some, but Woolworths stock all of it. I only buy chicken livers and hearts for my cat. Of course, there is no way, I would ever cook that stuff for myself.

 

[StarTrekker]

I miss tripe, Lamb's fry and kidneys.
All very hard to get, even at the butchers.
