A company that is proud of its catch phrase 'From the Land to your Plate', Capfruit must ensure that all its criteria regarding the cultivation and selection of the fruits we use are upheld by every one of our partners.
We then have to guarantee our customers that every step in the processing of this fruit, whether into chunks, purées or coulis, is carried out in conditions of irreproachable hygiene.
This step consists of checking that every aspect of the technical specifications drawn up with our suppliers has been adhered to.
Our technology is based on low temperature processing of the fruit to retain its complex structure and avoid any loss of aroma, the development of germs and eventual oxidization.
Our internal quality control laboratory is responsible for controlling all the raw materials and packaging, the production process and the finished product. It is therefore involved at every step during the life of a product. Batteries of microbiologic organoleptic and physicochemical tests are carried out by the laboratory.
Capfruit also calls on independent laboratories to carry out specific analyses such as testing for heavy metals, radioactivity or pesticides.
