Quality and safety

Safety and biosecurity

All Toneli farms operate in strict compliance with the biosecurity program, according to order 21/2018, a program containing 30 concrete measures aimed at preventing and fighting against any sorce of infestation of the chickens.

Tightly marked breeding areas of birds from other animals or foreign persons;
Disinfection system for cars, personnel, visitors;
Manure management;
Compliance with the program of surveillance, prophylaxis and control of diseases in birds;
Supply of feed by our own FNC;
Preparation of up-to-date mandatory sanitary-veterinary records;
Hiring specialized personnel to manage the biosecurity program;
The implementation of the HACCP system (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) within the Toneli farms generates safety by the performance of a thorough control of all processes through which the final product (packaged egg) passes from farm to the shelf.

Advanced technology

All Toneli farms are modernized and meet the EU technological standards.

With state-of-the-art equipment, the analysis and control devices from our own FNC (Concentrated Feed Factory) ensure a high level of quality control of the raw materials received and allow us to rigorously select raw materials and suppliers alike.
The sorting station at Toneli Packing Centre is endowed with one of the most modern egg sorting and packaging lines (MOBA) equipped with a UV shell egg disinfection system.
The palletizing of the cases is done automatically by 2 robots of 3 distinct lines for each robot. Labelling and allotment of sales units is also done automatically with inkjet.
Since 2020 at Toneli Packing Centre, the investment in one of the most equipped laboratories for analysing and verifying the quality of the egg in Romania was completed - a laboratory that helps us in the analysis of the quality of the egg delivered to consumers.
The laboratory is serviced by specialized personnel and owns the DEȚ 6000 device - the most advanced device on the market for the analysis of the quality and freshness of the egg. The device analyses the resistance of the eggshell to breakage, the colour of the yolk, the thickness of the eggshell, the height of the egg white, the height of the yolk and measures the Haugh units (indicator of the freshness of the egg).
The tests performed allow us to improve the bird feed formulas - depending on the values obtained, the bird feed is modified in such a way that the delivered eggs are impeccable.

Controlled quality

All birds are fed with fed exclusively with feed from their own Feed Mill. All recipes are developed by our specialists to ensure that the chickens are healthy and that we guarantee the quality of the egg delivered to the consumers.

One-day-old chicks from Toneli farms are raised with great care, evaluated and monitored daily so that their evolution is normal, without diseases to affect their health.
At about 15 weeks, the chicks are transferred to adult farms where they are placed under an appropriate, equally strictly supervised care regime.
The egg-laying process begins around the age of 20 weeks, at which time each egg is carefully collected by the farm staff and sent to the sorting station to the Toneli Packing Centre
Here the eggs enter the sorting line where they are checked, weighed, sorted and stamped with the farm code and the growth code to which is added the expiration date ensuring the traceability chain of the egg from the farm to the store.
All dirty, broken or cracked eggs are automatically removed from the sorting line, and only quality A eggs reach the packaging in casseroles and carton boxes.
The TPC sorting and packing station is certified:
• IFS V6.1- International Food Standard High level (2014)
• ISO 9001, ISO 22000 and ISO 14001 (2013).
Further, the logistics department provides the transport of the products on time and in optimal conditions to the customer and the merchandising team carries out the final check in the stores, so that on the shelf the buyers can find only fresh eggs, without cracks or packaging damage.
