Quality policy

The company assumes as an ultimate responsibility to supply best quality innocuous products, attending to its clients' and final consumers' needs.

For that aim, different norms world wide recognised are implemented and certified as pillars of quality assurance in the production and industrialisation of goods.

On the field: everything is handled under the strict regulations of the EUREPGAP protocol for fruits and vegetables, internationally recognised as the harmonising law of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP).

EUREPGAP constitutes an acceptable basic standard of recommended practices for the production of innocuous fresh vegetables, minimising biological, chemical and/or physical contamination risks. These practices consider minimising the negative impact on the environment through sustainable production systems, promoting the preservation of health, security and well-being of the workers and applicable to the field of Primary Production.

In packing, cold storage and transport: we work under the regulations of the CODEX Commission with regard to the Hygiene Manipulation of Products - Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) (CAC / RCP-1 Commission CODEX FAO / OMS).

The Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) are essential principles regarding the management and hygienic care of products in their manipulation, production, distribution, and transport.

Along the whole chain: national and international regulations and the norms implemented by the company require assurance of the product's traceability.

Traceability is a group of norms and proceedings pre-established which allow the association of the information to the product in each of the stages of production and trading processes in order to find out at a certain moment, by means of technological tools, the history, location and the different phases or lots of products along the supply chain.
