This control APP allows the user to know the complete traceability of the products covered by the PDO Guijuelo, thus guaranteeing the certification of their origin and their differentiated quality.
The Protected Designation of Origin Guijuelo, the cradle of the Iberian, is a public law corporation that verifies compliance with its Specifications for certifying Iberian pork hams and shoulders of differentiated quality, accredited by ENAC by the UNE-ISO 17065 Standard, and exercises by delegation of the MAPA the tasks of Official Control.
The PDO Guijuelo controls all the processes from the origin of the raw material to final consumption. To do this, it has its own traceability system that is capable of obtaining all the data on an animal or product, regardless of the phase in which it is found.
All our pieces are identified in the slaughterhouses with an inviolable and individually numbered seal that allows correct traceability, with the PDO Guijuelo logo stamped on them, according to the following categories:
