Our Policies

At Greater Omaha, we have developed a systematic approach to animal welfare by the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service. It is our mission and ethical obligation to continue our steadfast stewardship of the earth and its resources, including proper care of the cattle our business is reliant on. We hand-pick our cattle based on our quality standards and the overall well-being of the animals prior to arriving at our facility; at which point we maintain proper handling and safeguards to minimize distress and injury as suggested by Dr. Temple Grandin.

Greater Omaha is dedicated to producing the safest and most wholesome beef product available in the industry today. We continue to be at the forefront of innovation by using a state-of-the-art twelve-step, multiple-hurdle concept effective in pathogen intervention or bacteria removal. These steps allow us to monitor, assess and control product safety continually and effectively. A third-party leader conducts comprehensive audits on food safety to ensure we meet USDA requirements for producing, selling and distributing safe beef products.

If an animal has been given an antibiotic to treat an illness, the FSIS mandates a withdrawal period to ensure no trace residue is present at the time of harvest. Cattle suppliers guarantee compliance by signing an affidavit at the point of sale and are audited to confirm compliance.

Greater Omaha Packing is committed to conducting business ethically, with integrity, and in compliance with applicable laws. Our business's success depends on the trust and confidence we earn from our team members, suppliers, and customers.
