    Cleaver Awards pinpoint best butcheries in SA

    Last week saw the announcement of the best butcheries, both nationally and regionally, in the latest Cleaver Awards. The awards, launched in 2005, are an initiative of the South African Red Meat Industry Forum and have seen butchery standards significantly improve and consumer feedback indicate that the awards are seen as a seal of approval.

    Butchers were judged according to three categories; butcheries with four or more till points, butcheries with three or fewer till points and food market/supermarket butcheries. The winners in each category received Platinum Awards and the runners up Gold Awards.
