Quality Guard:
the application for
allergens & food safety

“Butchery is a craft, and that’s a fact. If you want to create professional quality today, you also need a focus on food safety. The Smiley tells our customers that what we do is very pure and hygienic. Personally, I think one of the best things about Quality Guard is that it involves the whole team on the journey to maximum food safety. It’s become our collective mission!”

“The customer is king – that’s my motto. When our customers ask about allergens and nutritional values, it’s important that they get accurate information. We were awarded our Smiley with the support of the Quality Guard app. Our experience meant we were able to make contributions to the system, but we also learned a huge amount.”

“We are extremely proud of our local restaurant and the quality that we serve. We always try and use the freshest products – in fact, that’s just what sets us apart. Our meat is cut, filleted, minced, weighed, prepared and served all on the same day. We never take shortcuts when it comes to quality or food safety and we expect the same attitude from Quality Guard. We’re delighted that Quality Guard’s own quality objectives match our own.”

“Before Quality Guard, we weren’t able to give our full attention to food safety, which was a concern for us. Nowadays, we’ve succeeded in going paperless and we record everything in the app. We’ve also found that tools like the recipe module save us a lot of time. The Smiley certificate is the perfect confirmation that we’ve achieved our objective to make food safety a priority. We’ve had our Smiley up on the wall here since June 2015 and we couldn't be prouder!”

“In our kitchen, you’ll find a variety of fresh products and delicious, authentic dishes. We choose our fresh ingredients carefully and transform them into simple, creative products. It’s not just in our products that purity is of prime importance to us – we believe our business identity should be equally unadulterated and authentic. That’s why I jumped at the chance to partner with Quality Guard. Thanks to them, we’re assured of first-class food safety and hygiene!”

“You need to have a good eye for detail if you want to meet high quality standards. We find the Quality Guard app a very handy tool here. The app makes it simple to record values, monitor chillers and print labels complete with full allergen and nutritional information, compliant with the latest legislation.”

"Wie aan hoge kwaliteitsnormen wil voldoen moet oog hebben voor detail. De Quality Guard-app is een handige tool die ons daarbij helpt. Het is eenvoudig om te registreren, koelinstallaties te bewaken en etiketten af te drukken waar alle allergenen en voedingswaarden conform aan de nieuwe wetgeving, opstaan."

“We have a general grocery section – Delhaize is a Belgian supermarket chain – as well as being a quality butcher. We have noticed that our clients demand high quality standards. That’s why we try and pick out the best of both worlds, and so far we’ve been very successful in meeting our clients’ particular requirements. We wanted a self-monitoring system that we could use for both the retail side and the butchery. Quality Guard has turned out to be the perfect partner!”

“We focus entirely on high-quality artisanal products. We purchase regional ingredients and work to establish connections with all the workforces involved in the production process, from farmers to sales channels. That’s how we make sure we can deliver exactly the products our clients want. We hugely appreciate the role that Quality Guard has in our systems. Our identity as an organic business was a challenge for the self-monitoring system and it took quite a lot of work. But the final result is that we can now use the Quality Guard app with no problems at all – thank you Quality Guard!”

“Impe Catering doesn't just provide catering for events, not by a long chalk. What we offer is an allround package, every i dotted and t crossed. That means we set very high standards for ourselves and make quality and flexibility our top criteria. We serve creative contemporary cooking and take the laws around food hygiene very seriously. Thanks to Quality Guard, our staff don’t have to spend precious time fiddling about with paperwork.”

“Every day, our team devotes their energy and passion into producing top quality products, which are distributed to our sales points here and abroad. We’ve invested in frameworks, energy-saving approaches and machinery in our production facility in Torhout. As a result, our production is foodsafe, ecologically sound and low-energy. The Quality Guard app slots in seamlessly as an efficient tool for managing our self-monitoring system.”

“Sport Vlaanderen offers scientific, financial and practical support for professional athletes. We want to make it as easy as possible for our sporting talents to achieve their ambitions and follow their dreams. A balanced diet is one of the most important ways that professional athletes can look after themselves – and that's why we keep our kitchens in perfect order. Quality Guard understands our vision and is a fantastic support.”

“The kitchens of the Government of Flanders are responsible for filling about 6,000 stomachs every day, all across Flanders. As a Government service, it’s essential that we set an example for hygiene and self-monitoring. We have extremely stringent rules in all our kitchens and regular checks. Until recently, we were taking two manual temperature measurements of each fridge. Now we’re using Quality Guard’s unique wireless logging system to monitor temperatures continuously. As soon as any fridge becomes too warm, the automated system immediately notifies the responsible person. Quite frankly, we could no longer manage without it!”

“We have a retirement home in central Brussels with around 250 residents. Naturally, we aim to serve them delicious, healthy food! Lots of our residents are on special diets or can't eat certain things. So it’s important that we know exactly which allergens are in which products – and that’s where Quality Guard is the perfect tool.”
