CHICKEN MEAT AND PRODUCTS WITH SELENIUM, HIGH QUALITY CERTIFICATE
The High Quality scheme covers chicken meat and products, which have better properties than similar products with regard to composition, sensory properties, physical and chemical properties and production and processing methods. Such products with value added are made in accordance with the prescribed specifications, must meet the relevant standards and are additionally controlled and monitored as regards quality.
The product line of chicken meat and products labelled as a source of selenium is an excellent investment in one’s health. Selenium is an antioxidant and has been shown by studies to improve the working of the immune system and the thyroid. The recommended daily intake of selenium for adults is 30 to 70 microgrammes. Chicken meat and products labelled as a source of selenium contain at least 8.25 mg of selenium per 100 g of the product. The selenium contained in Pivka products has been added to the meat through appropriate animal feed.
PIVKA CHICKEN WITH OMEGA 3, HIGH QUALITY CERTIFICATE
The High Quality scheme covers chicken meat and products, which have better properties than similar products with regard to composition, sensory properties, physical and chemical properties and production and processing methods. Such products with value added are made in accordance with the prescribed specifications, must meet the relevant standards and are additionally controlled and monitored as regards quality.
A crucial advantage of Pivka Chicken with Omega 3 with the High Quality certificate is that it contains twice as many Omega 3 fatty acids overall than the meat produced by using the regular technology of farm chicken rearing. Moreover, it has a favourable ratio between Omega 6 and Omega 3 essential fatty acids.
EXQUISITE SLOVENIAN QUALITY
Exquisite Quality is a national scheme promoting good quality of farm products and foodstuffs with specific characteristics. The Selected
Quality label indicates the production and processing in Slovenia and high product quality resulting from compliance with a number of prescribed conditions.. Transport routes must be short, transport time limited, feed has to be of high quality with no animal proteins or artificial additives and animal health care must comply with special requirements. Processing procedures and traceability are prescribed and regular controls are performed at plants of producers and food companies by independent certification bodies. Official inspections are performed by the Administration of the Republic of Slovenia for Food Safety, Veterinary Sector and Plant Protection. The specifications are very specific about the process of food producing and processing and animal rearing.
IFS STANDARD
The International Food Standard (IFS) is an international standard for assessing suppliers in the food industry. The IFS was developed in 2001 by the German retailers’ association HDE and the French retailers’ association FCD. It is considered the best standard of its kind in Europe. It includes 336 requirements assessed on a four-grade scale. An accredited international certification body controls compliance with the strict requirements. Assessments are performed through a point scoring system. A higher percentage of compliance with the requirements denotes success. At least a 75% score is needed to get the certificate.
The Pivka Group is confirming compliance with the requirements by annual internal and external assessments where it achieves top scores (over 96%).

HACCP
Hazard analyses and critical control points are managed through HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point). It is a tool for managing food product safety through identification, analysis and assessment of physical, chemical and biological hazards present in individual process stages and development and execution of preventive and corrective measures in stages with increased hazard levels. HACCP principles are applied in all production stages, from rearing and feeding to processing.
BROILER CHICKEN INITIATIVE
RieFein will meet the requirements of the European Broiler Chicken Initiative (https://masthuhn-initiative.de) for 100% of sourced chicken meat by 2026 at the latest. Furthermore, RieFein GmbH publishes annual reports on the progress of implementation and has independent controls to ensure compliance with the standards.
Until meat is available that meets all the European Broiler Chicken Initiative’s criteria, RieFein will use similar offers and gradually increase its share in the product range.
The European Broiler Chicken Initiative originates from an alliance of about 30 animal welfare organizations with the vital goal of improving the farming of broiler chickens. Important animal welfare aspects such as lower stocking density, restriction of overbreeding and minimum standards for light and employment material are implemented.
