FOOD SAFETY
Food Quality and Safety
Throughout our journey, we act with respect for people. As a company that provides solutions for various sectors of the food industry, this means ensuring that our products are safe for all of them, from the professionals who handle them on a daily basis to the consumers of the food produced by our customers.
To ensure the integrity of this entire production cycle, our Food Safety Team (ESA) – an experienced and constantly updated multidisciplinary team – works to maintain a Culture of Food Quality and Safety at Agropalma, based on our Food Quality and Safety Policy.
For this purpose, we have a strict Food Safety Management System (SGSA), a set of procedures and tools that allow us to identify, control and prevent food safety risks, as well as always acting ethically and combating fraud. SGSA guides our performance in three axes:
Production
Hazards related to product manufacturing are identified, assessed and controlled so that they do not cause direct or indirect harm to the food safety of customers and other players in the food production chain.
Information
Where applicable, matters relating to product safety are duly communicated, as well as information relating to the development, implementation and updating of SGSA, with a focus on maintaining food safety.
Update
Ensuring that SGSA reflects the organization’s activities and includes the latest information on the safety hazards of the food produced by it, by assessing and updating it when necessary.
Our SGSA is based on the application of the Standards and Requirements that make up FSSC 22000 international certification framework, which certifies the safety of food throughout its entire chain, from primary production to packaging and distribution:
- NBR ISO 22000:2019 – Food Safety Management System – Requirements for any organization in the food production chain.
- NBR ISO/TS 22002-1:2012 – Food Safety Prerequisite Program. Part 1: Industrial Food Processing
- Additional Requirements of FSSC 22000, version 6.0.
- Customer Requirements
Seals and certifications
We emphasize our commitment to people and nature, bearing seals and credentials for our certification, – thus adding value to our products.
