Product quality and food safety
Product quality and food safety
Our high quality level is the standard which drives all the activities of the Group, a principle inspired by its tradition of excellence, the result of a professionalism and technical know-how deeply rooted in the past, generating a competitive edge that helps secure customer loyalty and develop the perception of its brands.
The goal of Colussi is to ensure that all its products can be consumed with absolute peace of mind, as they are compliant with all the laws in force and meet the highest quality standards. In this regard, carefully selecting our raw materials is essential, as is constantly monitoring their quality over time. This is why we carry out many checks through the entire production chain to ensure the absolute safety of every product.
Quality means the constant commitment of all the people who work for the Group, combined with the ability to innovate every day to achieve better results and ensure we keep the promise of goodness and wholesomeness embodied by each product.
RESPONSIBLE CHOICES
The Colussi Group has chosen to use raw materials that are increasingly kind to the environment and our health: this is why our products are free from palm oil and we only buy eggs from free-range hens.
CERTIFIED QUALITY
The Colussi Group has obtained the UNI ENI ISO 9001 quality system certification for its main production sites and is also BRC and IFS certified.
