We are voluntarily enrolled in a federal plan
A government inspector is present full-time in our butcher shop and rigorously ensures, several times a day, that all Canadian Food Inspection Agency standards are respected and that the sanitary quality of the premises, equipment and products is impeccable. Most butcher shops or supermarkets do not have such high hygiene standards.

We have chosen the highest standards of health control in the world
Our butcher shop is voluntarily governed by the HACCP system, which imposes a very strict protocol for hygiene and food production conditions. This system was developed by NASA. It's serious! The procedures applied at all stages of our food chain are the strictest in America.
We are extremely rigorous at every stage of production.
At l’épicier, food safety is extremely important. We take all necessary hygiene precautions in our facilities and those of our suppliers, from preparation to delivery of your supplies.
Manipulation
very safe
We are accredited and adhere to strict food handling and equipment standards. To avoid cross-contamination, each type of meat is prepared in separate rooms.
Freezing
and preservation
Unlike homemade freezing, flash freezing is an ultra-rapid temperature reduction technique that creates a natural shell and helps preserve the juices and nutrients inside the meat.
Conservation
extended
Thanks to our adherence to high hygiene and sanitation standards and the excellence of our Skin packaging , our frozen meats can be stored for up to 18 months in the freezer.
Traceability increase
All our meats are cut in our butcher shop and sourced from certified local producers. For added security, you can rest assured that each piece of meat is traceable thanks to the information printed on the packaging.
Avant-garde packaging
Our meats are vacuum-packed at the time of cutting, in a J-Pack™ packaging specially designed for freezing and which helps protect the meat. Combined with freezing, freshness, juices, and nutritional values are preserved.

Our beef is aged 18 to 21 days in a controlled environment
Our Canada AAA grade beef is renowned for the quality of its marbling and for its exceptional tenderness, but above all , it is aged in a controlled environment for 18 to 21 days to make it even more tender and tasty.
We offer you real freshness
Supermarket fish counters have been displaying fish on display racks for years. With us, you can be sure of fresh produce straight from the ocean.
Our meats are 90% lean
