Industrial butter manufactured at the Valio Seinäjoki plant is exported to Central Europe and Russia. Our customers have tested the traceability of Valio butter in practice.
Butter is one of the hardest products to trace, because its production employs cream skimmed from a number of different milk batches.
Valio’s reporting system will trace the origin of the milk used for a specific butter batch within just a few hours.
The consecutive pallet number, the batch number and production date are checked from the butter package details. Even the export order number is enough to start the tracing process, as it enables us to determine which butter machine was used to manufacture the batch
The butter machine report specifies which silos the cream was taken from.
Cream silos contain cream made from several milk batches.
Valio maintains two databases, one of which holds information on the milk from all the producers, the other on the milk collected and the collection routes.
The raw milk batches used in cream manufacturing can be traced back to the dairy farms via the collection route numbers.
The croissant you eat in Paris has probably been baked using Valio butter!
Butter traceability constitutes an important advantage for Valio in today’s highly competitive international markets.
