This time, accompanied by staff of the Entre Ríos Regional Center of SENASA, the Consumer Safety officer, Selina Mata, verified the good manufacturing practices (GMP) in two blueberries packing plants, and also checked the facilities and received information about the activities developed to preserve the product’s innocuousness and quality.
The FDA representative received information about the mandatory enrolment and/or re-enrolment requirements of the packages and the activities developed by Senasa as regards agriculture and food innocuousness and quality.
During the meeting, Mata explained the importance of knowing the production and packing process of the fruits to be exported to her country and highlighted the interaction of the participants in the blueberries chains, of the public and private sector, which confer reliability on the final result of said integrated work.
