To ensure the freshest produce, we carry out weekly checks, where our fruit and vegetables are checked for residues of plant protection products, and we also detect for antibiotics in the meats we sell. We also check the labels of all our products to assure the validity of their indications, and the correct and lawful information of the consumers regarding the ingredients, origin and nutritional value of every product that can be found on our shelves.
