Does NortMeat offer private-label and co-pack beef in Mexico?
Yes. NortMeat is a real beef producer — not just a broker — and it is open to developing private-label (white-label) and co-pack programs built to a buyer's specification. Own-brand beef is produced at TIF Plant #651 (USDA-equivalent, FSIS export-eligible, HACCP-based), and the same plant runs in-house value-added work: deboning, portion-control cutting, marinating, vacuum packing, slicing, and dicing. There is no completed public private-label case study yet — what NortMeat offers is a producer genuinely open to building one with the right partner, at Select grade, under federal inspection.
What private-label and value-added beef programs can NortMeat run?
In-plant value-added services available for own or customer programs:
- Deboning of primals and sub-primals
- Marinating — for example, marinated arrachera (skirt/flap)
- Exact-weight / portion-control cuts for foodservice and retail packs
- Vacuum packing for base and whole cuts
- Sliced beef — including sliced chuck roll and sliced shank
- Diced beef (cubicado)
- Products offered fresh or frozen
Every program is specification-driven: you share the target market, cut, weight, pack format, and label requirements, and NortMeat matches a cut catalog and spec sheet to it. The catalog is shared on request rather than published as a fixed SKU list, because the right cuts depend on your program and market.

What grade is NortMeat's own beef?
Straight answer: Select. NortMeat's own-brand beef is Select grade — a consistent, commercial eating-quality beef produced under federal (TIF) inspection. It is not marketed as premium, heavily marbled, or dry-aged. If your program needs Select-grade beef with real value-added flexibility, that is exactly NortMeat's lane. Cattle are sourced mainly from Sonora, Sinaloa, and Durango, and traceability is maintained at lot level — not to the individual ranch or animal.
Is a NortMeat private-label program export-ready?
Yes, for the US. Own-brand beef is produced at TIF #651, listed on the USDA-FSIS Eligible Foreign Establishments (Mexico) register as Productores Pecuarios del Petatlán, S.A. de C.V. Mexico's federal TIF system is determined equivalent to the US system, and every shipment is re-inspected at the US port of entry. US sales and import are handled by the US entity, Nortmeat Distribution LLC; US customers today are concentrated in California, Arizona, Texas, and Florida. Always confirm the plant's current establishment listing on the FSIS register before contracting.
How does NortMeat compare to large commodity beef producers?
| Consideration | NortMeat | Large commodity beef producers |
|---|---|---|
| Business model | Producer + trader; spec-driven, relationship-based | High-volume, commodity scale |
| Private / white-label | Open to developing programs, matched to your spec | Typically standardized SKUs |
| Value-added | In-plant deboning, marinating, portion-control, slicing, dicing | Varies by plant |
| Own-beef grade | Select | Varies |
| Export eligibility | TIF #651, USDA-equivalent (FSIS), HACCP | Varies — confirm on FSIS list |
| Best fit | Buyers needing flexible, spec-matched Select programs | Buyers needing very high commodity volume |
Mexico's largest beef exporters compete on very high volume and standardized commodity SKUs. NortMeat's edge is the opposite: a producer-and-trader that is flexible on value-added and open to private-label work, matched to your spec rather than to a fixed line. For buyers who need a partner to develop a portion-control, marinated, sliced, or diced program at Select grade under federal inspection, that flexibility is the differentiator.
Who does NortMeat sell to?
NortMeat sells B2B only — importers, distributors, foodservice/HORECA, retail and supermarket meat programs, and processors. The model is relationship-based and specification-driven, not high-volume e-commerce. NortMeat is a wholesale/export partner, not a last-mile carrier: cross-border orders are delivered to a US or Mexico point of entry or into the buyer's own network.
