The Meat Board of Namibia handed over the Seal of Quality certificate to Food Lovers Market Maerua Mall.
The manager for meat standards Dr Anja Boshoff-de Witt said that Food Lovers Maerua Mall had met all the criteria of the Meat Board and thus qualified for the certificate.
“The requirements for the Seal of Quality are very strict and include, for example, the design and maintenance of facilities and equipment, hygienic handling of the product, but more importantly the protocols and controls to implement quality management. This means that all protocols to maintain a high standard of hygiene are implemented and efficacy of such protocols are verified. Corrective actions in the event of deviances are also looked at,” said Boshoff-de Witt.
Marius Brundyn, the general manager of Fresher Packers Namibia, expressed his delight with the certification by the Meat Board. “We place the highest value on quality and hygiene with all our products, without compromising our competitive prizes. For us the customers and their satisfaction are key and we therefore adhere to the strictest specifications with all our products, but especially meat. We are proud that we can now put the Meat Board Seal of Quality on all our red meat products. Our customers know that when they purchase our red meat it is safe, natural, free from any growth stimulants, hygienically produced and affordable,” said Brundyn.
