Nutrace
Skretting’s company-wide management programme that ensures feed-to-food quality and safety. All Skretting companies shall adhere to these standards.
How we work with transparency and trust
For us in Skretting, it's essential to increase the transparency and traceability of food production along the supply chain. Combining the latest technology and science with the dedication of our staff to produce the highest quality feed, we do our utmost to ensure that our business operations adhere to our own strict environmental guidelines. Nutrace® is Skretting’s unique, global feed-to-food quality and safety system. It ensures consistency throughout the production process, from raw materials to final feed solutions. Built on five strong pillars, Nutrace ensures that our customers and end consumers can have full confidence with regard to feeds in the farmed fish and shrimp value chain.
Nutrace: feed-to-food quality and safety
Nutrace is Skretting’s company-wide management programme for feed-to-food quality and safety. It brings together ingredient and supplier approval, production controls, finished-product release, traceability and follow-up across our operations. The programme is reviewed and updated as requirements, risks and operating practices evolve.
Quality and food safety certifications
Skretting production sites may hold certifications to recognised quality and food safety standards, depending on the site, market and activities covered. These certifications provide independent verification within their defined scope.
Ingredient and supplier approval
Before use, raw materials and suppliers must complete an approval process based on the ingredient, source and intended use. The assessment covers relevant quality, safety, regulatory and traceability requirements. Environmental and social sourcing requirements are addressed through our responsible sourcing policies and supplier standards.
Approved ingredients and suppliers remain subject to risk-based monitoring. This can include document review, sampling, laboratory analysis, audits and investigation of irregularities. Findings may lead to additional evidence, corrective action, suspension or withdrawal of approval, depending on the circumstances and applicable procedure.
Continuous monitoring and improvement
Nutrace is reviewed and updated as requirements, risks and operating practices evolve. Monitoring helps us identify irregularities, assess findings and take appropriate follow-up action across our quality and food-safety processes.
Risk management and traceability
Nutrace includes procedures for managing food-safety incidents and other emergencies. Traceability systems connect feed batches with raw materials, production records and delivery information, supporting investigation and, where required, product withdrawal or recall. Skretting companies carry out training and testing to support timely decision-making and coordinated action.
Monitoring and follow-up
Approved ingredients, suppliers and production processes remain subject to risk-based monitoring. This can include document review, sampling, laboratory analysis, audits and investigation of irregularities. Where a potential non-conformity is identified, follow-up may include additional evidence, corrective action, suspension or withdrawal of approval, depending on the finding and applicable procedure.
