Food Safety

The health and safety of our consumers is our top concern. That is why we have several procedures which insure the best quality products.

LALA’s Food Safety system is based on the requirements and guidelines of certifying agencies such as Quality Chek’d and México Calidad Suprema (Supreme Quality).

We have the following certifications:

Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points

This process involves the protection of food from raw ingredients and packaging material contamination. Its application is compatible with quality management systems such as ISO 9000.

Its main benefits are: 
a) Reduced losses, non compliant product and quality incidents 
b) Increased productivity.
c) Increased commitment to customers' needs.
d) Encouragement toward ongoing improvement.

Quality Chekd: A US organization that provides ongoing counsel to milk and dairy processors, allowing them to guarantee quality process and products.

Quality Chekd was founded 60 years ago and has more than 35 members in Latin America, who receive advice, assessment and validation of individual performance through auditing programs, training and independent third-party testing by certified laboratories.

Kosher:A certification given by the Jewish Rabbinical Council to products prepared based on Jewish dietary laws.

FDA:Certification granted by the US Food and Drug Administration. FDA is the US government agency responsible for the regulation of food, drugs and supplements for both humans and animal consumption.

México Calidad Suprema (Mexico Supreme Quality): “México Calidad Suprema” is an official certification granted by the Mexican Government to domestic food products that meet the highest quality Mexican standards.

The basic principles of the Calidad Suprema seal are:
a) Sanitation: Confidence that the products have been processed, packaged and distributed under proper hygiene and sanitary conditions.
b) Food safety: Confidence that the product is safe for human consumption.
c) Quality: Certainty that the products are distinguished by superior quality, due to their qualities, properties and nature.

SGS: An agency authorized to extend the Management System Certification distinction based on the requirements of BPM, HACCP and Codex Alimentarius.

We have procedures for preparation, release, handling and storage of products, all supervised by the Quality Control and R&D areas.

We conduct bacteriological, physical-chemical and sensory analyses. We apply Good Manufacturing Practices and validate them through certified independent laboratories. We maintain cold chain distribution so that the product does not lose shelf life, thus guaranteeing its quality to the final consumer.
