Frequently asked questions
Everything about our proteins, delivery and subscriptions.
Product
The Meat Club is a Singapore-based online butcher and clean protein delivery service established in 2015. We sell beef, chicken, seafood, lamb, pork, eggs, deli products and pantry items, sourced from the best suppliers in Australia, New Zealand and around the world. All products are SFA-approved. Order before 2pm for free next-day delivery islandwide, Monday to Saturday.
We work with named suppliers from the best farms around the world. Our beef, covering grass-fed, grain-fed and Wagyu, comes from Diamantina (Stanbroke), processed at Establishment 203 in Grantham, Queensland. Our chicken comes from farms across Australia: cage-free from Steggles and free-range from Lilydale, both with no added hormones. Our pork is free-range from Gooralie in Goondiwindi, Queensland. Our lamb is from Integrated Foods in the Gisborne region of New Zealand. Our King Salmon is raised by Akaroa Salmon in Akaroa Harbour, New Zealand, and our barramundi by Infinity Blue at their Daintree farm in Tropical North Queensland. Our snapper, gurnard, tarakihi and kingfish are wild caught by East Rock off Gisborne, and our monkfish and red cod are wild caught in New Zealand waters. Our King Prawns are raised in land-based tanks in Singapore by Vertical Oceans. You can read about each supplier on our sourcing page.
Clean protein means three specific things. Honest ingredients: what is on the label is everything in the pack, no fillers, no surprises. Traceable: actually traceable back to our suppliers, not just "responsibly sourced." Minimal handling: blast frozen at the source at peak eating condition, shipped to Singapore sealed and not opened until it reaches your door.
All Stanbroke cattle start on open pastures. Grass-fed cattle remain on pasture throughout and are grass-finished, leaner with a cleaner flavour. Grain-fed cattle are raised on grass, then enter a finishing program for a minimum of 100 days on wholesome Australian grain, hay and silage, which develops higher marbling and a richer, more buttery flavour. Wagyu takes this further with over 300 days of grain finishing, producing the deep marbling the cut is known for.
Grass-fed beef comes from cattle raised and finished entirely on pasture with no grain finishing. It tends to be leaner than grain-fed beef with a cleaner flavour that reflects the land it was raised on. Our grass-fed beef comes from Stanbroke in Queensland's Gulf of Carpentaria, where cattle graze on open pastures from birth to processing with no added hormones.
Yes. The Meat Club stocks wagyu beef from Stanbroke in Northern Queensland, where cattle are raised on open pastures then grain finished for over 300 days. The extended feeding produces the characteristic deep marbling and rich, buttery flavour wagyu is known for. Order before 2pm for free next-day delivery islandwide, Monday to Saturday.
Ribeye is the classic choice for the grill, with good marbling that holds up well over high heat. Burger patties are a BBQ staple and ours come in wagyu and grass-fed. Chicken mid-wings cook quickly over direct heat and are always a crowd favourite. New Zealand grass-fed lamb chops need just a few minutes a side on a hot grill and carry the salty, grassy flavour of Gisborne lamb well. Round it out with sausages, our beef, pork and chicken varieties are made in Singapore, gluten-free and free from artificial additives. Order before 2pm for free next-day delivery islandwide, Monday to Saturday.
Yes. The Meat Club offers free next-day delivery islandwide in Singapore on all orders placed before 2pm, Monday to Saturday. All cuts are available as a one-off purchase with no recurring order required.
Our beef, lamb and pork are all free from added hormones. Our chicken is raised without growth hormones and is chlorine-free. Nothing is added after the animal leaves the farm.
Our free range chicken is FREPA accredited and raised without antibiotics. If any bird requires treatment, it is removed from the program and not sold under the free range label. Our cage-free chicken is raised to the same standard, with antibiotics only administered when prescribed by a vet to treat illness in individual birds. Neither range uses antibiotics as a growth promotant, and the use of growth hormones in Australian chicken has been illegal since 1967.
We do not currently stock certified organic meat. Organic certification in Singapore is not consistently regulated, which means the label does not always reflect the standard it implies. What we focus on instead is supply chains we can actually verify: food safety, animal welfare, and honest ingredients with no unnecessary additives. For many customers, that is a higher bar than an organic label alone. You can read about every supplier and their practices on our sourcing page.
Yes. Most of our range is naturally suited to keto and low-carb eating. Grass-fed and grain-fed beef, lamb, pork, chicken, seafood and eggs all contain no added carbohydrates. Our beef tallow is a clean, stable cooking fat with no seed oils, popular with keto and carnivore diet customers.
All our raw proteins are blast frozen at the source facility at peak eating condition. They arrive as follows:
- Frozen: Beef, Lamb, Chicken, Pork, Seafood, Prawns, Pies, Sausages
- Chilled: Eggs
- Ambient: Fresh fruit and vegetables, gifts and merchandise
All products are SFA-approved.
If you need a product delivered thawed, for example for a BBQ the same day, contact us before placing your order and we will do our best to accommodate. All thawing is done slowly and safely under controlled conditions.
Frozen, Storage and Food Handling
In Singapore's climate, yes. Chilled meat from Australia or New Zealand travels 6 to 8 hours by air, sits on airport tarmac in temperatures of 30°C or above, passes through freight handling, customs, cold storage and a retailer before it reaches you. Every step is a point where the cold chain can flex. Our proteins are blast frozen at the source at peak eating condition and arrive in Singapore in the original sealed pack, in the same condition they left the farm. The cold chain does not flex because there is no chilled window to protect.
Blast freezing uses extremely cold temperatures to freeze meat almost instantly at the source facility. This prevents the large ice crystals that form during slow freezing, which damage muscle fibre and cause meat to lose moisture, texture and flavour when it thaws. The result is protein that eats like fresh because from a food science standpoint, it effectively is, sealed at peak eating condition before any deterioration could occur in transit.
Singapore sits just one degree north of the equator. Ambient temperatures of 30 to 32°C are normal year-round, which means any break in the cold chain during import, freight handling or last-mile delivery creates a genuine food safety risk. Chilled meat operates in a narrow temperature window of 0 to 4°C that is difficult to maintain consistently across a long-haul international supply chain in a tropical climate. Blast frozen meat removes that variable entirely.
Vacuum packing removes air from the packaging before sealing. This limits bacterial growth, prevents the meat from drying out, and protects against freezer burn. It is why our proteins can ship from Australia or New Zealand to Singapore without losing condition in transit. The original seal holds everything in until you open it.
Frozen meat can last up to 9 months at -18°C or below, though we recommend using it within 3 months for the best eating quality. Most home freezers in Singapore run slightly warmer than commercial settings, so the sooner you use it the better. Keep your freezer as full as possible, a full freezer holds temperature more consistently than a half-empty one.
The fridge overnight method is safest and gives the best results. Move the pack from the freezer to the fridge 12 to 24 hours before you plan to cook.
For a faster defrost, place the sealed vacuum pack in a bowl of cold running water. Do not use warm or hot water. Cook immediately after.
Do not microwave your meat to defrost it. Microwaving heats the outer layers unevenly while the centre stays frozen, which affects both texture and food safety.
If you are defrosting on the counter, keep the pack sealed and cook as soon as it has thawed. Do not leave it sitting out for extended periods.
Yes, for some cuts and methods. Mince, diced cuts and thin strips can go straight into a hot pan. Thicker cuts like steaks and roasts are better defrosted first, cooking from frozen makes it harder to control the internal temperature and risks an overcooked exterior with an undercooked centre.
As a general rule we do not recommend refreezing defrosted meat, as each freeze-thaw cycle draws moisture from the muscle fibre and affects texture and eating quality. However, if you have defrosted a larger pack and want to portion it up, you can refreeze the portions you are not using straight away, as long as the meat is still cold and has been handled hygienically. Do this once only. For any remaining portion you are not refreezing, cook it within 24 hours and refrigerate the cooked leftovers.
Cook within 24 hours of defrosting for the best results. Once you have opened the vacuum pack, seal any unused portion in an airtight container and cook within the same day.
If your freezer is fully stocked and stays closed, meat will stay frozen for up to 48 hours. A half-full freezer gives you around 24 hours. Do not open the door unnecessarily. Once power is restored, if the meat still has ice crystals and has not reached room temperature, it is safe to keep. If it has fully thawed and reached room temperature, cook it immediately and do not refreeze.
Halal
Our beef, chicken, lamb and salmon are sourced from halal-certified facilities and vacuum packed under halal conditions at the source. In Singapore, we store and transport halal and non-halal products in segregated facilities and vehicles.
We want to be straightforward with you: while we take every step we can to maintain halal integrity across the supply chain, we cannot guarantee that every single point between the farm and your door is formally halal-certified. If you require full MUIS-certified halal assurance throughout the entire chain, we would encourage you to make your decision with that in mind.
For customers who are comfortable with halal-certified sourcing and good-faith segregation at our end, our halal range is here.
- Beef Range (View certificate)
- Chicken Range (View certificate)
- Lamb Range (View certificate)
- Salmon Range (View certificate)
Our halal products are stored separately from non-halal items in our warehouse and are not handled together at any point during packing or delivery. Our drivers carry halal and non-halal orders separately where possible, and we follow segregation protocols throughout. The source certificates for our beef, chicken, lamb and salmon are available to view above.
Yes. Our wagyu beef from Stanbroke in Queensland is halal certified and available for free next-day delivery islandwide in Singapore. Stanbroke's wagyu cattle are grain finished for over 300 days, which produces the characteristic deep marbling and rich, buttery flavour. It is available as a one-off purchase or as part of a recurring order.
