Quality, Food Safety and Certifications
European standards and the specific requirements of each market
Quality and food safety are the foundation of every IBEREX operation. We work only with Spanish producers that comply with European food-safety legislation and, depending on the product and destination, hold the certifications international buyers expect.
Producer certifications
Depending on the product and supplier, our producers operate under:
- HACCP hazard analysis and critical control point systems.
- ISO quality and food-safety management standards.
- IFS Food and BRC Global Standard certifications required by many European retail chains.
- Halal certification from recognised bodies for the poultry range, on request.
- PDO and PGI protected designations for cheeses such as Cabrales, Valdeón, Tetilla, Arzúa-Ulloa and San Simón da Costa.
Documentation for every shipment
Each export operation is accompanied by the official veterinary or health certificate issued by the Spanish authorities, the certificate of origin, the commercial invoice and packing list, and any additional document required by the destination market, such as halal certificates or specific analyses. We check the requirements of each country before the goods leave the producer.
Traceability and cold chain
Every product can be traced from the batch at the producer to the delivery at destination. Chilled products travel under a controlled and documented cold chain, in refrigerated trucks within Europe and in refrigerated or frozen containers by sea.
To guarantee reliable, safe and competitive products for international markets, and to answer any technical or documentary question from a buyer before, during and after the shipment.
