Traceability
Batch traceability, from raw material to dispatch.
We identify each finished-product batch with its raw materials, production line, manufacturing date and destination. Backward and forward, within the time frame required by the standard.
Step 1
Origin
Raw materials from approved suppliers.
Step 2
Reception
Inbound control and raw-material batch assignment.
Step 3
Manufacturing
Recording of raw-material batches consumed in each finished-product batch.
Step 4
Deep freezing and storage
Batch, date and temperature recorded per pallet.
Step 5
Dispatch
Batch and destination recorded on each delivery note: we know which client has each batch.
We carry out traceability exercises and product-recall drills at the frequency required by IFS Food, and we maintain an incident and recall procedure with communication to clients and competent authorities.
Frequently asked questions
Answers for your quality department.
What documentation do I receive for each reference?
The full technical sheet: ingredients, nutrition, allergens, format, grammage, shelf life, storage conditions and regeneration instructions. On request, product specification and analytical reports.
How do you guarantee the cold chain to my platform?
The product is deep-frozen after cooking and stored and dispatched at −18 °C, with temperature records in cold rooms and during loading.
How does batch traceability work?
Each finished-product batch is linked to the raw-material batches it contains and to the delivery notes on which it was dispatched, in both directions. We perform traceability exercises and recall drills at the frequency required by IFS Food.

Yes. We receive second-party audits from our clients by prior appointment with the quality department.
