Nutrace® is Skretting’s food safety and quality system. This unique concept integrates measures to ensure quality and safety from feed raw materials through to finished products.
Nutrace® has four sections — Certified Quality, Monitoring, Risk Management and Tracking & Tracing.
All Skretting plants have Certificated Quality:
- Feed quality management systems are certified to ISO 9000 series quality standards.
- HACCP (Hazard Analysis of Critical Control Points) methodology identifies significant risks related to food safety at important points in the production sequence. Procedures are implemented to contain and minimise those risks.
Monitoring is carried out at all stages from raw materials to finished products. Skretting’s monitoring programme is applied equally at all production plants, using the same sampling and analytical techniques. For every substance to be monitored an optimum analytical technique is identified together with the names of laboratories, inside the company or external, that are competent to conduct the analysis. Results are shared between Skretting businesses to provide a worldwide overview as well as batch-by-batch information.
Risk management identifies potentially vulnerable stages in the production sequence. Practical precautions minimise the risks and action plans are in place to follow any unforeseen event. Crisis manuals specify corrective actions, communications and recall procedures.
Accurate and accessible records of all raw materials, production and deliveries are essential. Skretting
Tracking & Tracing systems meet current and pending legal requirements around the globe, including the EU and the FDA. They also meet the specifications of retail, food service and food processing customers. This information is available to our farming partners to enhance their operation in an open value chain.
