For this company, it was always perfectly clear where their eggs came from (which farmer and shed) and to which customer the eggs were sent. With the Ovotrack system every step in the process is automatically tracked, which means there were no uncertainties. Specified batches of eggs could be quickly and easily recalled. This was possible because the <a href=\"https:\/\/ovotrack.com\/modules\/\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/ovotrack.com\/modules\/\">Ovotrack system<\/a> provides all outer cases and pallets with a unique barcode, specifying the origin of the eggs in each case or pallet.\n<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"ppb-col panel-grid-cell \" id=\"pgc-1634-3-1\" ><div id=\"panel-1634-3-1-0\" class=\"ppb-block ppb-no-mobile-spacing\" style=\"\" ><p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.munckenei.be\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1645 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/ovotrack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Logo-t-Munckenei.png\" alt=\"'t Munckenei\" width=\"300\" height=\"179\" \/><\/a>\n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><!--.panel-grid-cell-container--><\/div><!--.panel-row-style--><\/div><!--.panel-grid--><div class=\"panel-grid ppb-row\" id=\"pg-1634-4\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\" ><div class=\"ppb-row panel-row-style panel-row-style- \" style=\"\" ><style>#pg-1634-4 .panel-grid-cell { padding: 0 0.5% 0; }<\/style><div class='panel-grid-cell-container'><div class=\"ppb-col panel-grid-cell \" id=\"pgc-1634-4-0\" ><div id=\"panel-1634-4-0-0\" class=\"ppb-block ppb-no-mobile-spacing\" style=\"\" ><p>\n\u201cAlthough only a handful of our suppliers used Fipronil, we needed to trace batches of eggs to specific suppliers,\u201d explains Stefaan Verhelle, Owner, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.munckenei.be\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u2019t Munckenei<\/a>. \u201cFor some customers, we had to compile overviews to show which percentage of delivered eggs came from the Netherlands. Others wanted to know which batches delivered between January and June might be contaminated.\u201d\n<\/p><p>\n\u201cUnder extreme circumstances, clients will immediately want to know to which extent they could be affected, for example, or which eggs might have to be recalled. There\u2019s no time to manually compile stock lists or extract data from Excel. That could take days, weeks, even months. Thanks to Ovotrack reports, we were able to respond very quickly. What\u2019s more, we could conclusively prove to the FAVV (Federal Agency for food chain safety) that a suspect batch of eggs could not have come from us. Ovotrack has definitely proven its worth during the Fipronil crisis.\u201d\n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><!--.panel-grid-cell-container--><\/div><!--.panel-row-style--><\/div><!--.panel-grid--><div class=\"panel-grid ppb-row\" id=\"pg-1634-5\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\" ><div class=\"ppb-row panel-row-style panel-row-style- \" style=\"\" ><style>#pg-1634-5 .panel-grid-cell { padding: 0 0.5% 0; }<\/style><div class='panel-grid-cell-container'><div class=\"ppb-col panel-grid-cell \" id=\"pgc-1634-5-0\" ><div id=\"panel-1634-5-0-0\" class=\"ppb-block ppb-no-mobile-spacing\" style=\"\" ><p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ovotrack.com\/contact-support\/\"><strong>Contact us<\/strong><\/a> and find out what we can do for you to improve tracking and tracing.\n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><!--.panel-grid-cell-container--><\/div><!--.panel-row-style--><\/div><!--.panel-grid-->\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Effective recalls during Fipronil crisis During last year\u2019s crisis, table eggs and egg products containing Fipronil were distributed to customers in at least 15 countries.
