BRAZIL daily level to the whole industry .
A perfect example is sustainable Best Beef . The president explains that “ the brand favors small producers with continuous production supervision in the properties certified by the slaughterhouse , in addition to guaranteeing that slaughtered animals are raised in deforestationfree areas .” She ends saying that “ this program also covers the social and familiar sustainability of producers , guaranteeing that there is no child labor at the farms , and guaranteeing the constant attendance of children to schools .”
Together with the aforementioned quality programs , the company performs two types of laboratory controls ; physical-chemical and microbiological , which are carried out following a timetable of sampling and analysis , seeking to test and certify the quality of the products and the conditions in which processes are carried out .
In order to perform analysis control , the Quality Management of Frigorífico Silva has 20 quality supervisors recording and testing the equipment used everyday . All samples collected by the quality control systems are recorded and forwarded to the labs of the Federal University of Santa Maria and the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul . Test results are audited by the Federal Inspection Service responsible for the facilities .
