Popular Canadian restaurant chain Chop Steakhouse & Bar is the first full-service restaurant to receive the Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Beef (CRSB) Certified Mark for beef sustainability in its Chop Burger. To receive the CRSB certification, the beef must meet the five principles set forth by the company: people and community; animal health and welfare; food; and efficiency and innovation.
As noted by Marcel Blais, the President of Chop Steakhouse & Bar, "Quality is at the core of Chop Steakhouse. We pride ourselves on delivering taste without compromise, and that means serving the very best Canadian beef - that’s why, for so many years, we have partnered with the CRSB. Today, our guests are asking more questions about where our food comes from. More than ever, they are demanding responsible, sustainable products from the brands they trust and we want them to know we are listening. We are partnering with the industry to pursue the improvement and advancement of sustainable practices."
