Food is not just about filling our stomachs but is a pleasure to be enjoyed. This is why at zur Mühlen Group we do not compromise on issues of our goods’ quality. Sausage from the zur Mühlen Group stands for end-to-end quality assurance along the entire value added chain – from receiving the raw materials through to delivering our products.
Centralised control of all quality management activities
Quality is the foremost priority at all companies of the zur Mühlen Group. Logically, therefore, all quality management activities of the Group are centrally controlled. For this reason the Technology Centre in Satrup was opened in 2010. Product development, quality management and quality assurance are now anchored under one roof in order to ensure the consistent transparency of all development projects of the zur Mühlen Group. The state-of-the-art laboratories for microbiology, chemistry and sensor technology guarantee certified quality standards and unconditional product safety.
Integrated management system for the highest standard of quality
All companies of the zur Mühlen Group work with an integrated quality management system. By so doing we not only meet national standards but also satisfy the most stringent international requirements for certification under BRC and IFS.
50,000 laboratory tests each year
Our products are regularly checked not only in our laboratories at the Technology Centre but also in external impartial laboratories. In all about 50,000 tests are carried out each year; each article runs through 60 internal testing stations, from the arrival of the raw materials through to the article’s completion and delivery. This way, we guarantee the high standard of quality and safety of our products.
Full traceability
Each component of a product can be fully traced. We know which product was produced when and which of the processed raw materials come from what supplier. Each of our suppliers undertakes to comply with our quality standards during the production of its goods. In this respect, we carry out regular audits.
