Qualified Abattoirs
We source materials only from qualified and approved abattoirs. These abattoirs adhere to strict environmental controls and husbandry practices, and judiciously manage animal traceability. Only animals certified fit for human consumption are used. Collagen Solutions maintains formal quality agreements with all our abattoirs. We manage the relationship with source plants and develop tissue collection protocols for each material in collaboration with our customers. We train and monitor professionals in plants and work closely with these teams. Collagen Solutions has a formal audit program in place and we facilitate customer audits as required.
