Traceability

Confidence in the safety of food is extremely important for the consumer. Food safety goes beyond hygienic working practices and a watchful industry regulator. Knowing where food comes from, and where it is going, is also an important aspect of safeguarding food safety.

VION Fresh Meat West has a reliable system in place to guarantee food safety. This system is based on internationally recognized standards. And the central focus in this system is on full traceability of products at every stage in the food chain. This chain runs from the living animal right to the packaged product the consumer finds in his local supermarket.
Information about which cattle feed the livestock farmer used, or where pigs come from, is also part of our quality assurance system, and crucial for effective control in the production chain. VION Fresh Meat West gathers, processes and manages this information from the links in the chain that come before us.

One way of identifying and monitoring our products in the abattoirs is by using barcodes. Barcodes are used to efficiently pass a great deal of information on to the various steps in the production process.
And it also allows us to track where our products are shipped to. And that, in turn, enables us to make the direct link between our products and information from the production chain. This tracing and tracking system enables VION to respond quickly and effectively whenever required.

Based on its clear and comprehensive overview of the chain, VION Fresh Meat can guarantee the safety of its products for the consumer.
