Our Virtual Tour is an interactive experience that explores locations throughout the pork supply chain. It includes two types of farms - indoor and free range - an abattoir, and a supermarket.

The Virtual Tour showcases the animal welfare, technology, sustainability, and food safety and quality measures that go into producing pork.
