Food Safety
The quality and food safety of the products we sell are the basis of the reputation capital of our banners. We ensure the quality and safety of our Private Brand products and perishables through our technicians, external auditors and independent and accredited laboratories.
Two policies guide our work: the Product Quality and Safety Policy, which establishes the development and monitoring system for Private Brand products and perishables, and the Nutritional Policy, defining the six pillars for product development (nutritional profile, ingredients, labelling, portion size, continuous improvement, and communication).
In 2021 we took a strategic step in this area. We opened our molecular biology laboratory, a structure that adds capacity to verify the authenticity of ingredients and prevent food fraud.
