The award recognizes outstanding achievement and leadership in the Canadian agriculture and agri-food industry.
Developed by Willy Hoffman, president of Prairie Orchard Farms, and a team of researchers, the Omega-3 Enhanced Pork starts with a feed formula that allows omega-3 to be absorbed into the muscle tissue through a pig’s diet.
According to the company, a 100 gram serving of ham contains approximately 0.4 grams of omega-3.
Prairie Orchard Farms was the first meat company to receive approval from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and the United States Department of Agriculture for their Omega-3 Enhanced Pork, and they are now exploring markets for Omega-3 enhanced chicken.
