We have the GSO 2055-1 and GSO 993:2015 standards included in the certificate, thus demonstrating Viñals Soler’s commitment to bringing Halal food to different parts of the world.
CCPAE
At Viñals Soler we have the ecological certification that allows us to market food with the names “Ecological”, “biological” and “organic”. These denominations within the European Union must comply with regulations and be certified by an authorised control body. In Catalonia, the control body is the “Consell de la Producció Agrària Ecològica” (CCPAE).
Q-MARK
Viñals Soler slaughters calves under the “Q” Mark parameters regulated by the Department of Climate Action, Food and Rural Agenda of the Generalitat of Catalonia.
The veal meat covered by this distinction comes from meat-breed animals and their crosses.
The animals’ feed is 100% vegetable supplemented with vitamins and minerals, with a minimum of 50% portions of cereal, 10% vegetables rich in fibre, and 5% legumes, at least during the last 6 months.
The maximum slaughter age is 12 months.
Once the carcasses have been slaughtered, they undergo a maturation process of at least four days until they reach the consumer to increase their tenderness.
SAE
Viñals Soler has the SAE (self-control export system) level 3, which is what Royal Decree 993/2014 establishes for final-producing establishments that intend to export products destined for human consumption whenever the destination country demands additional health requirements to those of the European regulations and/or when it demands the existence of a specific export list of establishments authorised to export to that country.
The certifier is SAICA.
IFS Food
The IFS Food food safety standard is recognised by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) to audit companies which are engaged in food manufacturing. This standard is focused on the quality and food safety of processed products.
Animal welfare WQ
Viñals Soler’s animal welfare certification is managed by IRTA in collaboration with Neiker-Tecnalia, based on the European Welfare Quality project and the European AWIN® project, which developed systems to evaluate and control animal welfare in farms and slaughterhouses.
This evaluation system is based on 4 principles: GOOD FOOD, GOOD ACCOMMODATION, GOOD HEALTH and APPROPRIATE BEHAVIOUR.
At Viñals Soler we have the whole chain audited, from the farm to the dispatch of our products, because we are aware of the benefits that animal welfare brings, both in terms of quality and production efficiency. In addition to respecting animals from birth to slaughter.
Consumers will have guaranteed information by labelling the product with the Animal Welfare seal (WQ).
Provacuno
The Provedella distinctive identifies the beef raised in Catalonia, our area. It guarantees that it has been created following the voluntary measures and the current legality, taking care of several factors.
