The quality of our vegetables is scrutinized, from field to plate. This means that not even a pea – or green bean or Brussels sprout – can escape our control.

In the field our agronomists and farmers take crop samples regularly and monitor the growth. As soon as a load of vegetables or fruit arrives at our processing plant, our quality teams check the variety and size and check the harvest for possible damage.

During production process our vegetables go through several cleaning stages, which are followed by visual inspections. Each production site has its own labs, where products undergo a series of tests (physical inspection and tests to determine chemical and bacteriological properties).

We use high-tech systems (infra-red, lasers, magnets and metal detection) to prevent foreign material from entering our products during production or during the packaging stage. Naturally, visual inspection remains important. During a final test in the laboratory, the composition, weight and the labels are checked.
