“CASSEL Inspection metal detectors can detect particles down to 0.8 mm, which no other brand can do.” - Rico Pollo
With 50 years of experience in the food industry and famous for sausages and chorizos, Rico Pollo, based in Peru, is an industry leader in quality and customer service
Rico Pollo products are well-known nationwide for both quality and consistency. The brand has several grocery stores, services grocers and restaurants, and uses modern and traditional distribution channels throughout the region.
A focus on exceptional quality is what drove the leaders at Rico Pollo to initiate complete and thorough food inspection in the production line.
“Metal detection is a critical priority to ensure our product is safe for our end users and our direct customers,” said Engineer Oswaldo Acevedo, Production Manager, Rico Pollo Sausages Plant. “The use of CASSEL Inspection metal detectors throughout our production line means we can be confident that our products are safe and free of physical contaminants.”
Following the Foods Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) principles, the team at Rico Pollo tests for both ferrous particles and stainless steel particles using CASSEL Inspection metal detectors.
The team relies on CASSEL Inspection’s metal detectors to monitor for contaminants at critical points in the food production process, including when raw material enters the grinder machine, liquid paste puree, and at the end of packaging.
“CASSEL Inspection metal detectors can detect particles down to 0.8 mm, which so far is not done by the competition,” stated Acevedo.
