Human-Grade Beef Tallow

We prioritise the wellbeing of garden birds, which is why we use human-grade beef tallow in all of the suet products at Harvest Wildlife Products. This premium ingredient provides a concentrated source of energy which is crucial for birds, especially during the colder months.

Rich in essential vitamins and easily digestible, our beef tallow ensures birds receive optimal nutrition. Our beef tallow is sourced from British farms, guaranteeing full traceability and the highest quality. The consistent texture prevents smearing on feathers, ensuring birds maintain their ability to fly freely.

We are confident that our use of human-grade beef tallow offers superior nutrition and contributes to the health and happiness of garden birds.

The Benefits

British Quality

  • Human-grade beef tallow is fully traceable and sourced from British farms, guaranteeing a secure supply chain. This means we aren’t reliant on imports that could be affected by overseas outbreaks such as Foot and Mouth Disease.

Superior Nutrition

  • Human-grade beef tallow provides a concentrated source of energy, essential vitamins, and is easily digestible. This translates to better nutrition for birds, particularly during challenging times like winter.
  • The tallow contains fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K for immune support, skin health and bone health.
  • The healthy fats in tallow could help birds to absorb fat-soluble vitamins and other nutrients from our suet products.
  • Tallow is a good source of Conjugated Linoleic Acid, known for its anti-inflammatory properties.
  • Tallow contains Omega-3 to support brain structure and function.

Clean Formula

  • The consistent texture of human-grade beef tallow prevents smearing on feathers, which is crucial for birds’ ability to fly. This addresses a common issue with lower-quality suet products in the market.

Commitment to Quality

  • Human-grade beef tallow is a component of a larger picture of quality. Our manufacturing site has the BRCGS Food Safety AA Certification, demonstrating the high quality of the end product. We are the only UK wild bird manufacturer to achieve this accolade.
