Although providing a quality product is important, animal welfare is also a priority, with all United Fresh products being fully traceable and responsibly sourced. From beef, pork, and lamb to sausages, game, and delicatessen meats, the company offers a wide selection of locally sourced meats for customers to choose from.
Aside from fresh produce, fish, and meat, United Fresh also supplies a range of dairy, dry store, and baked goods.

This category includes milk, cream, eggs, cheese, yoghurt, butter and spreads, dried herbs and spices, bread, breakfast goods, antipasti, canned products, oils, condiments, and baking ingredients.
