About ANZCO Foods Green Island

ANZCO Foods Green Island is a manufacturing site on Carnforth Street in Burnside, Dunedin, not a retail butcher's shop. It makes Angel Bay beef, lamb and vegetarian patties, a business the company started in 1995 and runs all year round. The patties are sold in New Zealand for food service and retail, and in Australia for food service. The website says the site employs 96 people and contributes about $18m a year to the region through wages, salaries and supplier payments. Product is also donated to schools and agricultural events for fundraisers.

Customers praise the patties, and one reviewer says the meatballs and beef and lamb products are the best they have bought from a supermarket. Another reviewer says the patties are the best they have eaten in a burger, though they work at the site. The company's own pages say the site is part of its wider New Zealand beef and lamb business, and that it invites people to look at jobs. The site does not sell direct to the public, so the patties are found in shops and food service outlets rather than bought here.
