About True North Foods
True North Foods is Manitoba's only federally-certified ruminant processing facility and was established by this desire to re-establish federally-certified beef processing capacity in the province of Manitoba. With a focus on local ownership and management, sustainability, and a commitment to quality and food safety, our plant was built for Manitobans by Manitobans.
We broke ground on our state-of-the-art facility in 2013, commenced operation the following year, and obtained our federal certification and license in 2015. Located in rural Manitoba, 6 km north of the town of Carman, yet only 70km southwest of Winnipeg, we offer proximity to producers and consumers alike.

- Using the computer system to scan and trace meat cuts
As an Entry-level Meat Cutter, you will cut meat carefully as per instructions in order to meet customer specifications and ensure minimal waste. You will be required to identify meat cuts, address errors, and work as part of a team to meet or exceed production targets while keeping pace with a conveyor.
