HACCP, FSSC 22000 and Beyond: How Jiale Food Controls Quality from Raw Material to Container

For an overseas importer, a certificate is where supplier evaluation starts, not where it ends. What matters is whether the system behind it runs on every shift and every lot. Here is how quality is controlled at Jiale Food, from raw material to container.

Two certified systems

• HACCP: hazard analysis and critical control points, the risk-based core of our food safety plan
• FSSC 22000: a GFSI-recognised food safety system certification, independently audited by a certification body

Certificate copies are available on request; see our Certificates page.

Raw material control

Raw materials come from approved suppliers. Every incoming lot passes a receiving inspection before it is released to production: temperature, appearance (no mould, rot or pest damage), variety and maturity for the intended product, and residue requirements. Lots that do not meet specification are rejected or held.

Control on the line

Processing takes place in 3,300 m² of fully enclosed workshops. Our 16 quality-management staff and 7 technical staff monitor the critical control points defined in the HACCP plan, such as washing, cooking or blanching, freezing and foreign-body inspection, and keep batch records for each lot.

Freezing and cold storage

Finished frozen products go directly into our on-site 2,000-ton low-temperature warehouse and are stored frozen until loading.

Traceability and documents

Each case is coded to its production lot, and lot records link back to the raw-material supplier and incoming inspection. We can trace a lot within one working day.

Export shipments are normally supported by a certificate of analysis (COA), phytosanitary certificate, certificate of origin and bill of lading. Tell us if your market or customer needs other documents.

What this means for your sourcing team

Independently audited systems make supplier approval faster, batch records give your QA team the data it needs, and lot traceability gives you documented answers if a question comes up about a shipment. Factory visits and supplier audits can be arranged.
