Quality
Laboratory analysis
CerealVeneta continuously invests in chemical-physical analyses of raw materials and semi-finished products, relying both on accredited external laboratories and on the systematic execution of in-house testing within its own Quality Department.
The internal testing scope includes:
- Chemical-Physical Analyses: Moisture, Purity, Black specks, Bran particles, Particle size distribution, Lab* colour values, pH, Temperature, Accelerated shelf-life, Real shelf-life, Peroxide value, Fat acidity, Water activity, Water absorption, Bulk density, Broken seeds (w/w and w/v), Husk count, Comparative photographic analysis.
-
- Allergens: Gluten, Soy;
- Mycotoxins: Aflatoxins, DON, Fumonisins, Ochratoxin, Zearalenone;
- Rheological Analyses: Bostwick, Viscosity, Pre-cooking, Aroma;
- Anti-Nutritional Agents: Saponins;
In total, CerealVeneta performs over 30 different internal analyses.
This approach enables the company to monitor critical parameters of raw materials and ensures prompt, direct control over gluten and soy content. As a result, raw materials and semi-finished products can be quickly approved or withheld based on compliance.
Through continuous monitoring of international health alerts and close collaboration with suppliers and customers, CerealVeneta maintains highly responsive and targeted quality control across cereals, legumes, oilseeds, and pseudo-cereals.
Traceability
Likewise, the speed of analytical results is complemented by a dedicated module of the internally developed management system (ERP), which makes it possible to trace the entire journey of a batch of raw material or semi-finished product in a single step.
The result is therefore a comprehensive system for product traceability and tracking, allowing the full supply chain of the relevant batch to be known in the event of any issue, ensuring prompt communication both upstream and downstream with the companies involved.
Corporate certifications
CerealVeneta has an FSSC 22.000 certified food safety management system at version 5.1.
CerealVeneta’s Allergen-Free plant operates under the ISO 14001:2015 environmental management system.
CerealVeneta produces semi-finished products with Kosher Certification / Kosher GF
CerealVeneta guarantees the absence of GMOs from 100% of its production through the NON-GMO DTP-030 certification.
CerealVeneta works also in the organic food sector, by producing ingredients from organic raw material, in accompliance with his Organic Certification: ABCert No. IT BIO.
CerealVeneta to guarantee its customers in an absolute way even in the most delicate points, such as the geographical origin of Italy’s raw materials, has gone beyond adopting traceability on Blockchain, that allows to verify this and other important parameters of raw materials and therefore of its semi-finished products.
CerealVeneta produces gluten-free products in compliance with REG. EU 828/2014. Based on the customer’s request and the feasibility of the project, it is possible to guarantee a gluten-free limit <10ppm.
CerealVeneta has devoted a good deal of its research and development to reducing the glycaemic index of flours, in order to counterbalance the typical increase in gluten-free products. This is why it has developed and registered its own brand for the production of products with a low glycaemic index and load.
CerealVeneta adopts its own food safety policy, in compliance with FSSC 22000.
CerealVeneta, in the direction of absolute quality in the professional life of each collaborator, internal and external, has established its own company code of ethics.
