The No.1 BOEREWORS

Shoprite and Checkers Champion Boerewors must be a traditional boerewors and there are guidelines for making the real thing.

What is real boerewors?

Traditional boerewors must strictly adhere to the following guidelines:

  • Boerewors must contain at least 90 percent meat - always containing beef, as well as lamb or pork or a mixture of lamb and pork.
  • Not more than 30% of the meat content may be fat.
  • Boerewors may not contain any “mechanically recovered” meat, this is meat derived through a process where meat and bone are mechanically separated.
  • Only Sheep's casing may be used.

Apart for the meat content, no other ingredients may be added except:

  • Vinegar, spices, herbs, salt or other harmless flavourants
  • Water

Cereal products such as oats or breadcrumbs may be used as binding agents keeping in mind that it should be suitable for mass production and a specific shelf life.

The Shoprite and Checkers Champion Boerewors is a top seller, because:

  • All our ingredients are fresh and the best quality spices and sheep casings are used.
  • We make fresh boerewors on a daily basis to keep up with the demand and to ensure that you will always buy a fresh product.
  • We hang all our boerewors before it is packed to drain all excess fluids. It also makes the casings drier and crispier so that it breaks easily when eaten.
  • All our boerewors are made by experienced and well-trained staff under the supervision of our Meat Market Managers who understand and appreciate the need for top quality products.
  • Our whole range of boerewors has a minimum meat content of 90% to ensure a high quality product that both looks fresh and tastes good.
