At Argeta, we are not a part of the meat processing industry; we are pâté specialists. All the ingredients we buy and use are only meant for pâtés. When we choose meat and fish, we choose only the best cuts; we never settle for less.
We only use the best ingredients: selected meat, fish, or vegetable cuts, and 100 percent natural spices and vegetable oils. All Argeta pâtés are made without preservatives, artificial colouring, flavour enhancers, or gluten.
Argeta is prepared according to the “free from” recipe. This means that our products are entirely without preservatives, artificial colours, artificial flavour enhancers, or gluten.
E471 refers to mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids and is used as an emulsifier (used in products based on emulsions). We have a stable meat emulsion without additives, which is one of our most significant advantages. If we were using any additives, we would be obliged by law to declare them on our packaging in the ingredient list.
All our pâtés have a tiny pocket of air at the bottom of the packaging, which is a result of the filling process. In the air pocket, pâtés may become slightly darker in colour, which is an entirely natural phenomenon that happens during sterilisation, and could only be prevented with additives.
Sometimes a tiny amount of gelatine can be found at the bottom of the Argeta pâté packaging. The formation of gelatine at the bottom of the pâté happens during high-temperature sterilisation when some collagen is dissolved from the meat and, together with water, forms a gel.
No, there are no artificial flavour enhancers in Argeta. However, yeast extract is a natural enhancer and is not considered an additive.
Yes, Argeta does contain lactose. Milk supplements in our products are essential for spreadability and for the renowned Argeta flavour that makes us so recognisable. Fasting tuna pâté is the only one that does not contain lactose.
The MSC (The Marine Stewardship Council) is the world's most recognised standard for sustainable fishing. It recognises and rewards efforts to protect and preserve the ocean and seafood supplies for future generations. The MSC label is only applied to wild fish or seafood from fisheries certified to the MSC Fisheries Standard and fishing sustainably.
Pâtés should be stored closed at temperatures no higher than 25 degrees. Once opened, the pâté must be refrigerated and consumed within 3 days. Instructions for use are also a part of the declaration.
All allergens are listed on the product packaging and marked in bold print. There are no other allergens in the product other than those marked on the packaging.
Bacteria cannot be found in our pâté because it is sterilised. Sterilisation is a process that destroys or eliminates all forms of microbial life. If you find damaged packaging in the shop, it is possible that the packaging has been tampered with, and the shop personnel should be notified.
Longer shelf life is ensured by sterilisation; in other words, by the heat treatment of our products. That is why our products can stay on the shelf for an extended period.
Our aluminium packaging is coated with a coating that protects against corrosion, oxidation, and chemical reactions, preventing migration from the aluminium packaging into the pâté.
The coating is polyester and BPA-NI. So with Argeta pâtés and spreads, ALU is not transitioning from packaging into the pâté.
A declaration of conformity guarantees that our ALU packaging complies with the applicable legislation for FCM (EU) 1935/2004 and (EU) 2023/2006. Regulation (EU)1935/2004 stipulates that FCMs must be made following good manufacturing practices, and their ingredients must not pass into food in concentrations that may endanger a consumer's health, change the food's composition, or change the organoleptic properties of food.
This is confirmed by testing the packaging and organoleptic properties of our spreads at our laboratory in Izola, Slovenia. As legislation ensures very safe packaging for food packaged in ALU packaging, we are more exposed to ALU from other sources, such as fresh fruits and vegetables, cereals, food additives, and cosmetics, than we are from food packaged in ALU packaging.
All Argeta pâtés are sterilised, which means they are heat treated at a temperature above 100°C. In this way, we ensure the sterility of the pâtés, as we eliminate all microorganisms present in the food (including listeria and salmonella), resulting in a long-lasting pâté. The pâtés also do not contain additives such as preservatives or artificial flavour enhancers.
In our opinion, pâtés can be consumed during pregnancy. Of course, we recommend eating a balanced diet, especially during pregnancy, and if you are still in doubt, consult your gynaecologist.
The decision to offer pâté to a child is, of course, entirely yours to make. At Argeta, we can guarantee that our pâtés are gluten-free and are prepared without preservatives, artificial flavour enhancers, or artificial colours. Our special Argeta Junior line is tailored to children’s needs, particularly from both a taste point of view and from the point of view of nutritional profile.
Sustainability is one of the critical questions we are dealing with. In 2020, we developed an ambitious sustainability programme called Spread Good geared towards reaching ambitious sustainability goals by 2030. Our commitments and our progress can be tracked at Spread Good.
Since we are not a meat-producing company, we buy our meat from external suppliers, meaning we can choose where our meat comes from. We are increasing our use of ingredients from sustainable resources and maintaining the highest standards of compliance with health and safety. According to the estimate of WWF Adria, 46% of the raw fish material we use is sustainably caught. In the last two years, we have reduced our sourcing from conventional chicken farming by 55%, and increased our sourcing from free-range and organic farming.
The MSC (The Marine Stewardship Council) is the world's most recognised standard for sustainable fishing. It recognises and rewards efforts to protect and preserve the ocean and seafood supplies for future generations. The MSC label is only applied to wild fish or seafood from fisheries certified to the MSC Fisheries Standard and fishing sustainably.
We are continuously reducing the amount of paper and plastic in all our packaging. Our multipacks and secondary transport packaging both carry FSC certificates. Aluminium cans have the highest recycling rate compared to other packaging materials.
We process our waste following the circular economy model. 100% of the organic waste we produce is a part of the circular loop.
We extensively support sports development, and sponsor the Ski Associations of Slovenia and Croatia.
Our premium sub-brand, Argeta Exclusive, offers consumers access to high-quality cuisine through its products and numerous other projects. We also help improve the quality of online content for children with the Argeta Junior Edutainment platform.
Yes, Argeta is halal certified and offers a variety of halal pâtés. All our halal pâtés have a recognised halal symbol on the packaging. You can find more on Argeta's halal pâtés here: Halal.
The meat used for our products is processed according to European Halal standards.
They are produced in Slovenia and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Our production facility in Bosnia and Herzegovina is halal certified throughout, while at the production facility in Slovenia, the production of halal products is warranted.
Neither pork nor any pork-based products are used in our products or at our production facilities in Slovenia or Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Only products with halal seals are considered halal. For example, Argeta chicken products without the halal seal are not 100% halal.
Yes, they only contain chicken meat. Our halal chicken products contain other ingredients, such as oils and spices, that are also halal-certified.
Halal certificate is issued to Argeta in Bosnia and Herzegovina by the Islamic Community in Bosnia and Herzegovina’s Agency for Halal Quality Certification, and in Slovenia by the Islamic Community in the Republic of Slovenia. Our halal certificates are renewed annually.
Argeta has all the necessary certificates, including halal certification, which ensure that a Muslim must conduct the process of meat extraction and that the process must follow Muslim laws. Our quality control department performs control over all raw ingredients. Every product passes the necessary analyses and sterilisations before it is available in stores.

Several factors influence our prices, which depend on the country's market, as well as on specific retailers whose promotional offers can also affect the price. Due to the above and to various campaigns, the market price ratio can vary. We do not influence the prices ourselves, as we should not.
