Food safety and quality
To know how our consumers evolved and respond to changes
in consumer habits are permanent issues in our operational
day-by-day. We make available to our retail consumers the
Consumer Customer Service (SAC) and Speak With Us chan-
nels, present at all sites of our brands, to receive complaints or
suggestions about our products. All grievances are forwarded
to the responsible teams and help us create improvements in
our product lines.
Among the transformations we follow is our quest for healthier
food by reducing its sodium content, added sugars and satu-
rated fats in ingredients for the industry and in final products.

In the numerous food segments in which we operate, one of
the common points is the commitment with food quality and
safety. We act with the assurance that our products, from
farm to supermarket shelf, can be consumed without offer-
ing any health risk and follow the best quality parameters,
according to the Cargill Product Safety and Quality Policy.
We count on standard interventions along the entire produc-
tion chain to verify the integrity of the goods. Our produc-
tive processes are covered by a Food Safety Management
System based on international standards. In this system,
we use the Critical Control Points and Hazards Analysis
(APPCC) to identify the criticality of potential contaminants
and the necessary mitigation actions in order to have a safe
quality product according to legislation.
Internal (done by a specific team) and external (by renown
certifiers) audits are an integral part of our management
system, and are done annually at all our plants. From time
to time, we are audited by our clients and inspected by the
regulatory authorities. The annotations of each of these
inspections, and the corresponding corrective actions, are
formally recorded in our internal systems, and the execution
is managed by the responsible teams.
Our processes and products are certified according the
our clients needs, the market and regulations for each of
our businesses, plants and product lines. Several of our
factories have certifications relative to food safety (Food
Safety System Certification - FSSC 22000) and quality (ISO
9000), religious certifications (Kosher, Halal) or sustainability
(Proterra), among others.
As the main metrics, we have incident indicators regarding
food safety (FSRI), cost of non-conformities (CONC) and
compliance with quality requirements (RFT), tracked locally
and globally.
One of our practices is to contribute with technical subsidies
regarding relevant issues of the food industry. We actively
participated in the public consultation regarding the review.
process of the nutritional label of packaged food, together
with food and beverage sector associations. The objective
of this initiative was to help consumers make more consci-
entious food choices. After being approved by the National
Agency of Health Surveillance (Anvisa), the new legislation
has been incorporated in our procedures for its fulfillment
within the established time frames.
Listening to consumers
We participate in the annual FATitudes survey, done by
Cargill global, to learn more about the vision, awareness
and habits of consumers regarding fats and oils found
in pre-fabricated foods. Among the results, almost three
quarters of the Brazilians heard (71%) report closely fol-
lowing the types and quantities of fats and oils in food
they buy and 60% indicated a greater probability of buying
food products with low rates of saturated fat. Consumer
comments contribute to the development of greater effi-
ciency products.View entire presentation
