Quality and certifications
IFS – International Food Standard
Villa Food is IFS certified, the international standard designed to ensure the effective selection of food suppliers based on their ability to guarantee compliance with processes and products in relation to food safety, authenticity, and quality. Similarly, IFS guarantees compliance with contractual specifications and legal requirements.
The Certification
IFS involves all stages of food processing, adherence to hygienic standards, good manufacturing practices, and the implementation of a management system based on health, safety, and public health protection throughout the food production and distribution chain.
The IFS certification ensures optimal company management and performance, waste reduction, and a concrete response to the increasing market demands for transparency, traceability, product integrity, and efficient workflows.
The Kitchen
All our dishes are created by Villa Food chefs, supported by food technologists, university researchers, and nutritionists who have tested, measured, and balanced the individual recipes in terms of taste as well as calorie balance. Our collaboration with the Department of Food Science at the University of Udine reflects our competitiveness philosophy: study, design, research, and advanced technology are key elements for us.
The Production Line
Villa Food guarantees food safety through certifications with high standards of health and food quality. The entire supply chain undergoes strict compliance checks and analyses.
The production process follows predetermined phases:
The speed of the processing phases minimizes food exposure, protecting the customer, the end consumer, and ensuring the product’s long shelf life.
This has allowed us to obtain all the mandatory certifications (IFS) and health authorizations that enable us to engage in every market.
Sustainability Standards and Refrigeration System
Respect for the environment and waste reduction is a precise choice of sustainability for Villa Food. Our facility is equipped with a refrigeration system with a CO2 booster that has a minimal global warming potential and complies with European regulations on fluorinated gas emissions. The system uses natural CO2 refrigerant without the need for HFC greenhouse gases. It combines maximum efficiency and low energy consumption while utilizing heat recovery for water heating.
