We often receive questions from customers regarding the blue stamps or markings that sometimes appear on beef and pork products.
These stamps are official inspection marks applied by the Nova Scotia meat inspection authority after the product has passed provincial food safety inspection. The stamp confirms that the meat was processed in an inspected facility and approved for sale and consumption according to Canadian food safety standards.
The blue ink used for these inspection stamps is completely food-safe and edible. It is made using approved food-grade ingredients, including blueberry-based dye, specifically designed for use on meat products.
The stamp does not affect the quality, taste, or safety of the meat in any way. In fact, it is an indication that the product has successfully passed inspection and meets regulatory requirements.
At Farm Store, transparency and food safety are extremely important to us, and we always want our customers to feel confident about the products they receive.
