This page summarises how Meat Industry chooses, writes and corrects its news. It applies to every news item and insight on the site.
Sources
We report from primary sources: companies’ own newsrooms and press materials, official announcements, regulators and published market research. We use only the facts the source states. We do not add assumptions, inferred benefits, unstated specifications, timelines or rankings. When a development happened more than a month before we publish, the article says when.
Images come from the press materials of the company named in the story and are credited to it.
What we publish
- New equipment, ingredients, casings, packaging and software, with concrete details.
- New plants, lines, expansions and investments, with their scale, site or value.
- Mergers, acquisitions and partnerships with a concrete scope.
- Processing projects with their location and scale.
- Market research with concrete findings and figures.
- Regulation and food safety rules that affect processors.
What we do not publish
Awards, anniversaries, appointments, charity and CSR news, sponsorships, trade show announcements without a named product, financial results without operational news, generic brand stories, customer case studies written as advertising, and rankings commissioned by a company that is ranked.
Language and style
We write in English with British spelling, whatever the language of the source. Brand and product names are not translated. Each article shows its publication date.
Corrections
If we get a fact wrong, we correct the article and add a note at the end saying what was changed and when. To report an error, write to info@meatindustry.online with the article’s address.
Sponsored content
Companies cannot pay for news coverage. Content paid for by a third party, if we publish any, is clearly labelled as sponsored and never presented as news. See Advertising.
