We believe that quality and hygiene go hand in hand. At Lauraham we care about every individual active in the food chain all the way to the final consumer. This is why quality, hygiene as well as the employees’ and final consumers’ health and safety come first at Lauraham.
Lauraham is equipped with the newest technologies in manufacturing, cleaning and tracing machinery and procedures.
It follows internationally recognized norms such as HACCP and BRC. The company’s European export accreditation number is EG B-962
Traceability
According to European regulations, Lauraham traces on a production batch basis all incoming and outgoing meat products. Temperatures are tracked in all cooling facilities and in our trucks.
In addition to this, a recently installed system allows us to trace the temperature of every room and every product (during cooking and cooling) all the way through the production cycle.
A sophisticated alarm system not only informs the responsible manager about problems during the cooking and/or cooling procedures but also tracks every change made to solve the problem
Standards
