Quality control
Hartjes Meat Processing has its own Quality Control department. This department not only controls the quality control system with corresponding workplace activities, it also oversees automated reports, staff training, daily hygiene audits, monitoring of analyses, product development and internal and external audits.
Quality Control takes weekly Plate Coutn Agar samples and periodic testing using Listera swabs for confirming the effectiveness of cleaning strategies and assuring production in a hygienic, safe environment.
Laboratory
Hartjes Meat Processing partners with an RvA-approved external laboratory according to scope L509. There are special agreements with this laboratory for rapidly processing analyses. For certain clients we sample production runs during production for same-day sample delivery at the laboratory. The laboratory tests the samples right away, for example for Salmonella ssp. qPCR) and test results are confirmed to the client and ourselves the following day, assuring safe processing of the supplied products. Hartjes Meat Processing generally samples following regulation “Vo. (EG) 2073/2005”.
Food safety
We hold food safety in high regard while processing meat. By investing in training and guidance of our staff, Hartjes Meat Processing employees have an intrisic motivation for working hygienically and efficiently. Quality and food safety go hand in hand at Hartjes Meat Processing.
Automization
Naturally, Hartjes Meat Processing works with automatized processes. Pallet processing, for example, used to be done on manually written forms, whereas today, the pallets are scanned for optimal traceability of location, origin, slaughter dates and so on. Even complex, composite products are fully traceable.
Consistant quality
Under strict quality control, using fresh resources and CE-approved and well-maintained machinery, operated by well-trained personnel, Hartjes Meat Processing guarantees consistant quality.
