Times
are indeed changing. Unlike in the last decade where mothers lavishly prepare
the family dinner, today’s trend has changed cooking habits to simple and easy.
The fast changing times have curved our dietary habits to the convenient and
instant. The pre-prep food industry has gained traction over the years and is
playing a crucial rule in the day to day dietary habits of Filipino families.
Canned food, fast foods, frozen and
packed meat, have evolved to replace the freshly cooked meals that families
enjoy at dinner time for the simple reason that it is easy and convenient.
However, we must also remember that food quality must never be sacrified for
convenience.

RDFFLFI takes
pride in providing consumers with safe meat products. Founded by
veterinarian-entrepreneur Dr. Robert Lo in 1985, the company is a medium-scale
agri-food system enterprise that has an end-to-end integrated food supply chain
that includes livestock breeding, feed manufacturing, meat processing, and
distribution to food service delivery. A pool of veterinarians on-site monitor
and secure proper husbandry practices at the poultry and hog farms to ensure
that they are healthy and free of diseases. High-quality feeds developed
in-house through years of research are also fed to the company’s poultry and
hogs to ensure they will contain less fat and leaner meat.
“Our
company is committed to providing better access to high-quality food from farm
to table to our Filipino consumers. This is made possible by investing in
innovation and ensuring that safety is paramount in all our process of handling
the meat products, starting from the source up to the table,” shares Dr. Lo.
