Quality & Safety

Freshness is not a coincidence, it is the result of a disciplined system. Our hygiene, cold chain and traceability standards secure every step from source to table.

Core Principles

The four foundations of food safety

Temperature control, hygiene, traceability and control at intake; four complementary disciplines that make the same quality possible on every delivery.

Temperature Control

A cold chain monitored at 0–4°C from source to table; temperature tracked at intake, storage and dispatch.

Hygiene Standards

Hygienic processing area, clean equipment and regular cleaning protocols. Food safety is our priority.

Traceability

Source, intake and dispatch details are recorded. Retrospective tracking is possible.

Control at Intake

Every batch is checked for freshness, size and appearance; anything below standard never leaves.

Source-to-Table Control

Four monitored control points, from intake to dispatch

Product passes through four control points from intake to dispatch. The cold chain is never broken at any stage, and no batch goes unrecorded.

  1. 01

    Intake

    Every incoming batch is checked for freshness, size and appearance; the product's source and intake temperature are recorded. Anything below standard is not accepted.

  2. 02

    Cold Storage

    Product is held in cold rooms monitored at 0–4°C. Temperature is tracked continuously; the cold chain is never broken, not even for a moment.

  3. 03

    Processing & Preparation

    Filleting, portioning and cleaning are carried out in a hygienic processing area, with clean equipment and regular cleaning protocols. Prepared product goes back into cold storage immediately.

  4. 04

    Dispatch Control

    A final freshness check is carried out before dispatch, product is stacked into hygienic crates and leaves in refrigerated vehicles. Departure details are kept on record.

Traceability

We can trace every product back to its source

The source, intake date and dispatch details of the product are kept on record. This makes it possible to trace the history of any batch when needed — there is a concrete record system behind our freshness claim.

We know where every product that reaches you came from; because trust only means something when it can be traced.

  • Source record

    Every batch is recorded with the farm or market it came from.

  • Temperature history

    Temperature tracking at intake and dispatch; the integrity of the cold chain is monitored.

  • Dispatch details

    Which product left with which delivery is kept on record.
