Quality

The creation of Polo’s certified quality system is a clear demonstration of the company’s commitment towards its customers. All production phases, from the arrival of the raw materials to the delivery of single products, are carried out in accordance with the H.A.C.C.P. self-control based standards.
An additional guarantee of the control carried out throughout the company processes is given by the UNI EN ISO 9001:2000 certification obtained by Polo.

Control

Particular attention is paid to the control of the product selected and methods of preservation.
All products, from meat to fish, from fruit to vegetables, from pasta to cakes, are traceable; this means it is possible to trace the procurement sources and follow the product throughout the process until it reaches the customer.
In conformity with the EEC 178/02 regulation the expiry date and production lot are mentioned on all transport documents.
Furthermore, Polo has set up a laboratory to cut, dissect and portion fresh veal, pork and beef following sanitary authorisation number IT 1644/F EEC. This structure guarantees high quality and careful processing and in this way, as regards the meat, it is possible to trace the exact dissection lot of the processed meat. Polo also guarantees the same safety standards for the portioned products of variable weight which are preserved on a tray packaged in modified atmosphere or in shrink wrap vacuum bags. Polo's test laboratory constantly carries out all the necessary controls and guarantees total safety also as regards health and hygiene.

Innovation

Polo is a company in continuous evolution that considers its customers as partners, constantly perceiving their needs and adapting its services to market changes. Recent investments in avant-garde structures guarantee very high standards of quality placing Polo at the forefront of the food distribution market.

Research

research on raw materials carried out both in Italy and abroad has led to consolidated supply contracts thanks to which Polo can offer different lines of products.
