Greenlea Premier Meats
Greenlea Premier Meats processes New Zealand beef at its Hamilton and Morrinsville plants.
- Location
- Greenlea operates Hamilton establishment ME124 and Morrinsville establishment ME82 on New Zealand’s North Island.
- Sourcing
- Greenlea’s 2023 report describes more than 5,000 upper-North-Island supplying farms and animal-status declarations paired with national livestock identification.
- Practices
- Greenlea claims 100% grass feeding, no genetically engineered feed, year-round pasture raising and no growth hormones ever.
- Practices
- Greenlea’s supplier rules require cattle to be clear of antibiotic withholding periods. Its antibiotic-free marketing does not mean the animals were never treated.
- Certifications
- Hamilton holds a 2026 BRCGS Grade AA certificate through May 7, 2027; Morrinsville’s Grade AA certificate runs through June 19, 2027, each with its own processing scope.
- Ownership
- New Zealand’s Commerce Commission cleared ANZCO’s proposed acquisition in August 2026. Clearance alone does not establish that the purchase was completed.
