Food safety and Quality control
A quality and food safety policy involving all the company’s players and employees
Quality
Within each production unit, a dedicated quality department ensures the conformity of products at all stages of their manufacture. The mission of the quality department is also to ensure compliance with the regulations in force in terms of food safety and the hygiene rules to be applied. Each product is released after numerous checks and analyses during the production process.
Laboratory
Each factory has its own laboratory, which takes and analyses samples of raw materials and finished products. Equipped with specific, high-performance equipment, these control centres check the physico-chemical and microbiological parameters that products must meet during their manufacture. Each production is thus released if the requirements defined in the specifications are met.
The Lact’Union Group is committed to the quality of its products: the cooperative is certified according to the AFNOR NF V01.005 standard (known as Agriconfiance) and the industrial sites according to the International Food Standard (IFS), Ecocert (organic products) and ISO 14001 (environment) standards.
The aim is to guarantee the safety and traceability of foodstuffs from producers to consumers.
