Our policies

Food safety management system (FSMS)

Nuevo Carnic, S.A. is a company dedicated to the slaughter and butchering of cattle as well as the production and packaging of intact and non-intact (mechanically tenderized) meat products, whether refrigerated or frozen.

Based on internal factors and external specifications related to food safety, Nuevo Carnic, S.A. is committed to establishing and reviewing its FSMS in order to provide meat products that guarantee compliance with applicable safety requirements, legal and regulatory requirements, and the requirements mutually agreed upon with the client. Our certified FSMS is designed to obtain client satisfaction with prerequisite programs and the relevant HACCP plan.

We make sure internal and external communication with all parties involved is fluid and transparent in order to maintain the effectiveness of our FSMS.

Senior management is committed to continuously maintaining and improving the FSMS, providing resources for preventing contamination, maintaining strict hygiene levels in the production process, and ensuring personnel have sufficient food safety competencies.

Senior management is committed to reviewing our food safety policy at predetermined intervals to maintain the integrity of the FSMS.
