Inspection in a fruit company, what all should you look for when inspecting such a company, and what are the rules?

The fruit harvest is in full swing and the first apples and pears of the new harvest are appearing on store shelves… What about the food safety of our fruit? Rest assured, this too is controlled by the FAVV and our growers know what they are doing.

Crop protection products

Like all inspections, this one is unannounced and it can sometimes happen that nobody is at home… But here we are lucky. Inspector Nathalie introduces herself and explains the purpose of our visit. The control can begin…

We start with a “material” control: inspection of the premises, the equipment and compliance with hygiene regulations, … Very important in a plant production company is how the crop protection products are stored and used. Since most pesticides are not without danger, they must be kept in a separate room (or cabinet). Here the choice was made to use locked cabinets on which the sign “poison” was affixed.

Nathalie checks the stock thoroughly, because the rules are strict

there must be no products that are not or are no longer approved, they must be kept in their original packaging, the label must be clearly legible and not damaged, etc. Next to the cabinet, the empty packages that have been rinsed out are ready to be taken to the collection point of Phytofar-Recover, a non-profit organization that processes and destroys them in an environmentally friendly way.

Then it is the turn of the spraying equipment and the refrigeration areas.

Sprayers must be inspected every three years to ensure that the crop protection products are used as efficiently as possible and in the most environmentally friendly way. Everything is in order at this company, which is also certified for its self-checking system, just like some 15,000 other companies in the agricultural and horticultural sector.Registers

Then comes the control of documents.

In order to guarantee traceability and thus limit possible risks to public health (for example, a foodstuff containing too many residues), growers must keep a number of registers. Plant protection products (and biocides) supplied must be recorded in an IN register. Data on the use of plant protection products and biocides must be recorded in a use register. This includes the name of the product used, the date of application, on which crop, the dose used, the date of harvest or sale, etc.

The Benefits of Subtitle Translation Services

Thanks to advancements in content strategies, subtitles have become a part of society’s everyday viewing habits. Videos can be found everywhere online, whether they be for recreational viewing or as part of a company’s marketing. Recreational viewing extends to film and television, both of which also have subtitles. Therefore, subtitle translation services have become essential for transforming content into something that can be marketed globally to reach a wider demographic.

The purpose of subtitle translation services is to make subtitles multilingual while retaining the tone and meaning of the words when spoken in their original language. Employing the services of subtitle translators will benefit your content immensely because it is immediately marketable in all the countries where the languages your subtitles are translated to are spoken. Subtitles are used not only by people who are hard of hearing, but by those who watch videos online on mute and those who simply prefer to be able to read while they watch to take in all the relevant information.

Subtitles benefit video content through search engine optimization; therefore, translated subtitles allow consumers to search in their own languages and discover your video content. Subtitle translation services are the preferable option to dubbing videos because it allows this search engine optimization to occur.
