Full traceability

- 04Storage
- 05Slicing and packing
- 06Dispatch
By identifying all products and by-products we can trace the origin of every item. Beyond strictly complying with current regulations and the most demanding quality certifications, this ensures we deliver our products at the right point of maturation for the best tenderness and quality.
StrTrazabilidad software identifies each item throughout slaughter, quartering, cutting, storage, slicing and packing, and dispatch.
We mainly use barcode labelling, and in several automated processes, RFID trays and hooks that allow automatic, unattended transport at the different decision or diversion points.
Together with the delivery notes, customers receive the corresponding packing lists with the batches, which are the basis of traceability at our plants.
We constantly invest in technology to better understand the status of each product in the plant, in order to optimise quality and cost.
I+D
R&D
We have our own technical research and development department, staffed by professionals qualified in food technology, veterinary science, biology and engineering.
This allows us to optimise our processes to achieve the highest product quality and a high level of consumer satisfaction.
Our studies include, among others:
- Ongoing shelf-life studies
- Influence of different packaging formats on shelf life, appearance and presentation
- Influence of storage temperatures. In-store and at-home storage simulations
- Study of different production processes: how to minimise handling
- Studies of ingredients and additives in processed products
- Animal feed studies
- Influence of cooking methods on the final product
- Analysis of how different cuts affect the same final product
- Comparisons of breeds and types of animal for each final product
To do so we have our own analysis laboratories, a cooking and experimentation area, pilot lines for storage studies and continuous sampling of actual production. The result is technical specifications that define the optimum at every stage of production.
