THE AL'S SAUSAGE STORY

The phenomenon that known as Al’s Sausage started almost 4 decades ago in a meat shop in Kinistino, SK. Al Paynter began working at Kinistino Meats right out of high school and eventually came to own the business. In September of 2003, Al accepted a meat cutter position at the Melfort Co-op Food Store. Within the year, he started to make his famous sausage recipe but regulations in the food industry at the time brought an end to production.

Fast forward to 2020. Terry Tremblay, General Manager of Prairie North Co-op, and past meat cutter himself, asked the Melfort Food Store team to investigate the protocols for offering in store made sausage. Over the next several months, the team worked with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency to meet the Canadian nutritional labelling standard, while Terry worked to ensure that there was the support of Wholesale Federated Co-operatives Limited for the roll out. Mid-February of 2021 saw Al’s Sausage back on the shelves in Melfort. And just one month later, it was available in our Kelvington food store.
