Why Made In Alberta Beef Should Be On Your Menu
Sponsored post by Gordon Food Service
What is the Made In Alberta designation?
Alberta is known across Canada—and around the world—for its premium, high-quality beef. With rich ranching traditions, skilled producers, and ideal farming conditions, it’s no surprise that Alberta beef continues to be a top choice for chefs who care about flavour, consistency, and local sourcing. Made In Alberta is the premier designation for locally sourced and produced food products from the province of Alberta. The hard work behind this operation belongs to the Alberta Food Processors Association (AFPA), an organization dedicated to supporting and promoting Alberta’s food and beverage industry. AFPA represents over 300 member companies involved in the processing and packaging of food and beverage products throughout the province.
