Tentego works with Safety Guard, the VanDrie Group's quality system. With Safety Guard, we ensure food safety, animal welfare and traceability throughout our production chain.
This quality system is based on ISO 22000. Various other standards are also guaranteed. With Safety Guard, the VanDrie Group fully complies with the Dutch veal sector's quality system: Vitaal Kalf (Fit Calf). The Foundation for Quality Guarantee of the Veal Sector (Stichting Kwaliteitsgarantie Vleeskalversector, SKV) carries out sampling and visual checks throughout the chain to ensure veal is produced to the highest standards.
Traceability throughout the chain
A unique aspect of Safety Guard is its traceability system. We keep precise records of which raw materials are incorporated into animal feed, where they come from and to which farms the batches of animal feed go. The calves have unique ear tag numbers that are always linked to the animal. This enables us to know at which farm the animal was kept or even born. In this way, we are able to trace an individual piece of meat back to, for example, an individual ingredient in the animal feed.
