The first export shipment of U.S. beef was delivered to Russia under the AB Foods,
St. Helens label.
The St. Helen's brand has strong premium recognition in both
domestic and international markets because of its strict production protocol and
consistent eating characteristics. AB Foods is the only company in the US that has
withstood the rigorous scrutiny of both ISO and HACCP qualification in every aspect
of the company supply chain. St. Helens Beef is produced under strong accordance to
these certificates.
"This shipment to Russia is the latest of confirmations that
Northwest Beef is viewed as a premium product throughout the world." says Rick Stott,
Executive Vice President of Agri Beef Co. "We look forward to continuing to provide
St. Helens Beef to the Russian market and provide them a taste of the Northwest."
