Our comprehensive quality control program has played a key role in the success and high quality of our colostrum. We have a complete cGMP and HACCP program, which applies stringent controls on the dairies from which we collect our colostrum. Not only must they be licensed Grade A dairies, but they must also comply with our own strict collection protocols. All colostrum must be collected and placed into sanitized containers and immediately transferred to a freezer to maintain product activity and quality. All surfaces and containers that the colostrum comes into contact with are always sanitized and maintained in as clean an environment as possible.
The colostrum is collected from the dairies by our own collection technicians. These technicians are trained to spot and report any potential problems that may affect the purity or quality of the product. If anything is amiss, La Belle's quality control department is immediately notified. La Belle initiates an immediate hold on colostrum received from a flagged dairy and a review of any deviation from our collection guidelines begin.
Once transported to one of our licensed food processing facilities, the colostrum is sampled and sent to our quality control laboratory and tested for the presence of any harmful bacteria, antibiotics, and raw liquid quality.
