Food Safety and Biosecurity

Nutritious whole grain chicken feed

Food Safety
GPC farm fresh table eggs are laid by hens have access to fresh clean water and an exceptionally nutritious vegetarian diet for health and vigor. We monitor our farms’ air and water quality, temperature and lighting 24/7 to create a safe and hygienic environment for our birds. Safety protocols are followed in every stage of production, processing, handling, storage and transportation to ensure the safety of eggs and reduce the risk of harmful food borne bacteria.
GPC Bio Security

We follow the highest standards of biosecurity in our farms

Biosecurity Protocols

Keeping our hens healthy is our top priority. We do this by following stringent biosecurity practices and vigilant monitoring of the health of our hens. We have invested in advanced biosecurity protocols and work to ensure compliance by all employees and service providers. On-farm biosecurity measures include prevention of access to rodents and other wild birds, limiting access to essential personnel, disinfecting vehicles that enter the farms, wearing designated clothing and utilizing footbaths.

Before the egg is laid

Healthy layer hens lead to healthy eggs. We source our DOCs (Day Old Chicks) from international suppliers. The DOCs are raised in our rearing farms in a controlled environment amid strict biosecurity measures for 16 weeks.

Our Production Farms

At 16 weeks, the pullets are moved to the production houses where they are housed for approximately 80 weeks old & their well-being is closely monitored by our team of veterinarians.

Our Feeding System

Our flocks are fed with healthy nutritious diet as per the breed requirement. Highly trained veterinarians tailor diets to each stage of the chicken’s life as per the breed standards.

Our Packing Station

Eggs laid by our flock of birds are collected automatically by an egg conveyor & are transferred to the MOBA egg packing station. Eggs are graded, sorted and packed automatically based on their weight & size – S, M, L, & XL. Eggs are stamped with production & expiry dates and traceability code. Broken, cracked, and second grade eggs are segregated from clean eggs.

Storage

Egg trays are packed in corrugated carton – 360 eggs in a carton and stored in our state-of-the-art chiller room where they are stored at temperatures between 4° – 10° C. These egg cartons are then dispatched to the market following the First In, First Out system.

Food Safety on the Road

Before egg cartons are loaded into our delivery trucks, every vehicle is inspected for standard transport temperature and hygiene. These trucks deliver our fresh eggs to our customers in the modern and traditional trade.

FOOD SAFETY IN THE GROCERY STORE

Our merchandisers & trade partners take comprehensive measures to ensure the egg trays are stored in the purpose built chillers in supermarkets that operate at temperatures of 4° – 10° C
