Senegal: OFRUTTI strengthens its quality and traceability system

As part of the Fit For Market Plus (FFM+) programme, COLEAD supported the Senegalese company OFRUTTI, specialised in dried mango processing, in setting up concrete tools to structure its quality and traceability management system.

This post-training support followed a collective session on the principles of quality and traceability management for food safety. The goal: to turn the knowledge gained into operational practices tailored to the company.

Tangible results

Thanks to strong commitment from the management team, several key achievements were made:

• a functional organisational chart and tailored job descriptions;
• a process flow diagram for dried mango production, making risk analysis easier;
• a product coding system allowing production batches to be traced;
• new quality monitoring tools, non-conformity management forms and a recall procedure in case of incidents;
• identification of the main food safety hazards and a Critical Control Point (CCP) in the production process.

Building on progress

To consolidate these efforts, OFRUTTI is encouraged to strengthen its quality team, define a clear quality policy, and expand its documentation system with formalised procedures, work instructions and systematic records.

This support marks a turning point for the company, which now has solid foundations to sustainably improve the safety and traceability of its products.
