How we produce

Production is the “beating heart” of all Vion slaughtering and processing companies. Our highly trained employees work together with government veterinarians, inspectors and livestock farmers to comply with production and hygiene regulations, day in day out.

How we ensure quality

Every day, approximately 100 million consumers on the globe have a meal with ‘Vion inside’. It is our first and foremost duty to make sure that the food is safe and wholesome. This is only possible by continuous investment in modern facilities and intensive quality management. Our entire supply chain and production is focused on providing the highest quality standards.

How we are inspected

Our work is continuously monitored by the responsible veterinary inspectorates. In the Netherlands, this is the Netherlands Food and Consumer Safety Authority (NVWA). At least two supervising veterinarians are present during production in our abattoirs. Moreover, independent, accredited certification agencies conduct inspections, and our customers often also send their own inspectors.
