Quality = Ländle Milch
Natural and traditional
The long agricultural tradition of Vorarlberg and the splendid nature between Arlberg and Lake Constance are the best possible requirements for natural dairy products of an outstanding quality. Happy cows graze on succulent meadows to give us top-grade raw milk, which we then process with due care. The result is the wonderfully natural taste of Ländle dairy products – a valuable addition to your daily diet.
FRESH from collection to delivery
• Raw Ländle milk is processed every day in state-of-the-art facilities
• The cold chain is uninterrupted all the way from milking to the store shelves
• Strictest hygiene standards are upheld in the production facilities
• The production process is monitored continuously
• Our milk is collected and delivered along short transport routes
Animal welfare
The health of our dairy cows is a high priority to us. Only cows that receive regular health checks can produce milk to the high quality standards of Ländle Milch products. This means: all cows spend at least 120 days per year in loose housing, open-air areas or on pastures.
Control
Quality assurance starts with the farmers, whose duties range from animal welfare to appropriate feeding and milking systems. The milking plant transports the milk directly into the closed cold chain, where it undergoes multiple controls throughout its entire production process. At the milk tanker, automatic samples are taken in order to measure the fat and protein content along with the amount of germs, cells and inhibitors in the milk. In a dedicated laboratory, the quality management department verifies that all the strict guidelines were upheld during the individual processing steps. This guarantees that our customers can enjoy their Ländle dairy products every day, knowing that they are consuming dairy of the highest possible quality and freshness.
IFS certification
The IFS (International Food Standard) was established in 2003 as a quality and food-safety standard for own-label brands in the retail sector. It facilitates standardised controls of food safety and quality standards at the site of production and has become an established quality seal for industrial and own-label brands alike.
IFS Food is an auditing standard for companies that process food products or package loose food products. The current version 6 of the IFS Food is a joint project of the German, French and Italian retail associations.
Vorarlberg milk is IFS-certified at version 6 – “higher level”.
