Brakes reduces fresh meat prices

Brakes has announced that it will be cutting prices on approximately 70 of its meat products across the board, by up to 10%

Brakes, a leading UK foodservice supplier, has announced that it is cutting prices on around a quarter of its fresh meat lines.The price cuts will be across a wide range of fresh meats from steaks to mince, across beef, pork and lamb, and will be up to 10% depending on the product range.

Sysco GB Chief Commercial Officer, Michael Andersen, says: “We are really pleased to be able to support the care sector at a critical time by reducing prices on a wide range of fresh meat. As we’re dropping prices on some of our most popular lines, we know that many customers will benefit.”

The reductions reflect changes in the global market where the demand for meat and meat products is falling. With the price of feed also coming down and the market adjusting to the challenges of the war in Ukraine, Brakes is passing these savings on to customers. The price reductions will be across around a quarter of Brakes’ fresh meat lines, approximately 70 products.

Stuart Smith, Merchandising Director for Sysco GB, adds: “We have been in an inflationary market for some time. While we have worked very hard to keep costs down as much as we can, there have inevitably been some prices rises. It is therefore very satisfying that we can be amongst the first to reduce our prices now that we can.”
