The Global G.A.P. standard focuses on prevention and control at every step of production?from selecting high-quality, safe raw materials to utilizing modern technology and ensuring traceability. This guarantees that animal feed produced at CP Foods' factories is safe and of the highest quality before being delivered to livestock farms and customers, ensuring the safety of animal feed and livestock product consumers. Today, both partners and consumers place significant importance on ESG, aligning with CP Foods' ongoing commitment to operating under the ESG framework.
CP Foods initiated the ISO 9001 quality standard system in animal feed production in 2000 and has continuously worked to elevate feed standard systems to comply with government regulations and the requirements of trading partner countries, ultimately resulting in safe food for consumers.
