Alpuro works with Safety Guard, the VanDrie Group's quality system. With Safety Guard, we guarantee food safety, animal welfare and traceability throughout our production chain 

This quality system is based on ISO 22000 — the food safety standard. Various other standards are also guaranteed. With Safety Guard, the VanDrie Group fully complies with the Dutch veal sector's quality system: Vitaal Kalf (Vital Veal). The Foundation for Quality Guarantee of the Veal Sector (SKV) carries out sampling and visual checks at Alpuro to ensure calf feed is produced to the highest standards. 

Alpuro is GMP+ certified (Good Manufacturing Practice + HACCP). GMP+ is a certification scheme that contributes to the assurance of animal feed safety worldwide. GMP+ contains requirements in the areas of hygiene, traceability and monitoring for production companies as well as storage, transport and trade. Alpuro also holds ISO 14001 certification. This certificate demonstrates that Alpuro has a well-functioning environmental management system.  

Traceability throughout the chain 
A unique aspect of Safety Guard is its traceability system. We keep precise records of which raw materials are processed into animal feed, where they come from and which farms receive the batches of animal feed. The calves have unique ear tag numbers that are always linked to the animal. This enables us to know at which farm the animal was kept or even born. In this way, we are able to trace an individual piece of meat back to, for example, an individual ingredient in the animal feed.
