At Acecook Vietnam, quality control is carried out throughout from the stage of selecting input materials to controlling finished products. This is also one of the contents that consumers can "see firsthand" through the factory visit program held for many years.
Quality control is not only about input materials
According to Mr. Kaneda Hiroki - General Director of Acecook Vietnam Company, before being launched on the market, each package of instant noodles must go through many strict inspection stages including: controlling input materials, production processes and output quality.
Raw material suppliers are selected based on many criteria such as production capacity, quality management system, traceability and level of meeting food safety requirements. Supplier evaluation and re-evaluation are carried out periodically to ensure the stability of raw material quality.
In particular, all ingredients must be tested through inspection indicators including sensory, physico-chemical, microbiological, pesticide residue,... These standards are applied to many product lines of Acecook Vietnam, including Hao Hao.
What helps Hao Hao noodles maintain stable quality for many years?
After meeting input requirements, raw materials are put into the production line according to a closed process, with modern factory infrastructure, ensuring no insects invade.
At the factory, the production process is operated with many quality control points to monitor and maintain product stability throughout the production process. Technical parameters are checked and recorded according to standard operating procedures.
At Acecook Vietnam, the lines achieve an automation rate of over 90%, with an average productivity of about 600 product packages per minute on a line.
In addition to control during the production process, finished products are also sampled and tested before leaving the factory to assess quality and food safety indicators according to regulations.
For products with large output such as Hao Hao, maintaining stability between production batches is one of the important requirements. Inspection and supervision activities are carried out throughout to ensure that products meet the standards set before being put on the market.
To manage product quality, Acecook Vietnam currently applies many internationally recognized systems and standards such as HACCP, ISO, BRCGS Food and IFS Food.
Transparency of information through factory visits
In addition to announcing product quality information, Acecook Vietnam maintains a factory visit program to help consumers and stakeholders directly observe the actual production process.
Opened to visitors since 2013, Acecook Vietnam's factory visit program welcomes more than 10,000 visitors each year.
Here, consumers have the opportunity to directly observe how a packet of noodles is made, learn about the production process, quality control stages and certifications for food safety.
Since 2022, the company has continued to develop an online tour model to help more users have access to information about the production process.
When consumers have the opportunity to self-verify
In the context of consumers increasingly concerned about the quality and origin of food, providing transparent information and creating conditions for customers to directly learn about the production process is one of the ways to help businesses strengthen dialogue with consumers.
With Acecook Vietnam, the opening of the factory is not aimed at changing consumers' views, but to create opportunities for them to directly observe, question and self-verify information related to the production process, quality and food safety.
