Quality

We understand quality to mean a continuous process of improvement across all phases and activities, in which we also involve our suppliers, both via our checks and traceability programs, as well as the promotion of techniques and methods of quality management.

 

At Borges, quality forms a part of our culture: “Always give what is expected of those who are part of this Organisation, at the right moment, in the right amount and in the right form.”

To ensure the safety and health of our customers, we have:

  • Built-in security reinforcement measures.
  • Continuous monitoring of our facilities.
  • Dissemination of information to customers to ensure safe use of the products and services offered.
  • Analysis of critical points and product quality controls.
  • Regulatory inspections and compliance with applicable requirements.
  • Implementation of quality control and food safety systems.

BIG helps to improve the quality of life for our consumers with healthy products that guarantee balanced nutrition.

The effectiveness of these programmes is regularly evaluated by independent experts.

The experience and professional capacity of our employees allow us to offer our clients and consumers the highest standards of quality, traceability and food safety.
