Abi annually improves and develops the quality control system at all stages of production. In 2023, our own microbiological laboratory reached the target indicators for the volume of research: 1.7 thousand samples are examined monthly . Specialists carry out incoming control of the safety of raw materials, control over the sanitary condition of production environment facilities, as well as control over the safety and quality of finished products.
The capacity of the Abi laboratory allows us to monitor incoming samples for all microbiological indicators standardized in the EAC Technical Regulations for Food Safety. During its operation, the microbiological laboratory successfully passed interlaboratory comparison tests, within the framework of which proficiency tests were carried out in key areas of research.
Since 2023, the Abi physical and chemical laboratory has improved its research system for packaging materials by equipping it with a tensile testing machine. This device allows you to examine packaging materials for strength. The importance of such research is due to the fact that some of Abi’s products are produced in vacuum packaging, as well as using a modified gas environment. This control system allows us to admit into production packaging materials that fully meet quality requirements and will ensure the safety of products throughout the entire shelf life, subject to established storage conditions.
In 2023, the company significantly expanded the list of countries for EXPORT. To enter new markets, Abi specialists studied and implemented safety and quality requirements for food products of importing countries. Thus, for a batch of products exported to Saudi Arabia, the company received a Certificate of Compliance with the requirements of the country's Food and Drug Administration (SFDA).
“Abi annually invests in safety and modern technologies and develops the competencies of its employees. For our new production sites, we lay down quality and safety requirements at the very first stages of plant design. Attention to the quality and safety of products is the most important component of the success of the company’s products, which every year enjoys more and more love among Russians and opens new export markets,” says Olga Spiridonova, DIRECTOR of the Abi quality department.
