What is Food Traceability? - 15 May 2018

Although vegetables and herbs are strictly monitored by the Quality Control (QC) department. Our quality department already inspects the quality of the vegetables on the farms before it is supplied and provides technical assistance to our supplier farms on request. All our suppliers are Global Gap accredited and adhere to strict guidelines for the use of pesticides. Each farmer is supplied with a detailed marketing plan and packing guide before their season begins. When our suppliers' season starts, they will submit samples for MRL testing, with the start of each new cultivar. Only accredited laboratories are used to analyse the samples and the quality department monitors the results. Periodic pack house inspections are done that monitors the quality and the packaging and the relevant information is conveyed to the farmer, as well as to our marking department. This ensures that the produce is packed in the correct packaging for the correct market.
