Quality Control

Our efforts to produce meats with high quality standard are constant, and so that this may happen, we have the collaboration of all the company’s departments, from the  purchase of the animals up to consumer service.

Meat quality is the result of safety procedures and standards that ensure animal welfare, healthcare, nutritional and sustainable practices.

PARTNERSHIPS  

To certify the quality and high standard of the animals, the Livestock Procurement department conducts strict audits, ensuring livestock breeding farms that fulfill the preceding stages to both the industrial animal welfare process and the breeding, pre-production handling and transport systems. 

PROCESSES
