- HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) – systemic analysis of threats and control of critical points.
- ISO 22000 – a global standard for food safety management.
- GDP (Good Distribution Practice) – Good Distribution Practice guaranteeing cargo integrity.
- Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 – strict standards for packaging in contact with food.
As your partner, we pay attention to details that others might overlook.

This is a firm rule that protects your business from complaints and loss of consumer trust.

|---|---|---|
| Frozen products | Below -18°C | Refreezing prohibited |
| Refrigerated products (dairy, meat) | 0°C to +4°C | Maximum 3°C |
| Dry products (pasta, rice) | Ambient temperature | Moisture protection required |
