Here at Friso, we prioritize the healthy growth of your child. That’s why, from the source of milk to production and export, we implement strict quality control measures throughout every step of the process.
Our formula milk production plants have been certified according to FSSC22000 certification schemes. All of our products comply with FrieslandCampina’s internal food safety & quality standards which are fully based upon EU food safety regulations, and CODEX International Food Hygiene Standards. Our internal food safety standards cover various aspects, such as the quality of our finished products, food safety and quality measures implemented at our production plants, and adherence to strict hygiene practices.
Traceability is the ability to track every aspect involved in the production and distribution of a product. It provides a comprehensive record of a product’s journey from where the ingredients were originally sourced from to the quality assurance checks it went through. All of this is crucial for maintaining the highest standards of product safety and quality.
Formula milk traceability has evolved significantly with the advancements in technology. With the integration of barcode systems, QR codes, and even blockchain technology, the entire supply chain, from ingredient sourcing to the retailer, can be monitored in real-time. Every production batch number, expiry date, and even specific details about the manufacturing facility can be easily accessed with a simple scan. This high level of transparency guarantees that the information provided to consumers is accurate and authentic.
The process of producing formula milk involves multiple stages, from the sourcing of milk from our dairy farmers to its final destination on retailers’ shelves. Cutting-edge systems help track the movement of formula milk through distribution centers, guaranteeing efficiency and security in transportation logistics.
Absolutely. In Holland, third-party verifications are a standard practice, and are embraced by Friso and our dairy farmers. These independent checks, combined with strict adherence to global standards, ensure that our formula milk’s traceability is not just a claim but a verifiable fact.
In the rare event of a product issue, we have a robust recall system in place, backed by a comprehensive audit trail to pinpoint the exact batch and its distribution. Of course, we welcome any form of feedback from our customers as it helps us improve the traceability process and ensure that it meets their needs.
