Accolade for Centra Toomevara

Representatives from Centra Toomevara are celebrating success after the Musgrave Food Safety Awards, held at the Killashee Hotel in Naas, Co Kildare.

The Tipperary store was among five SuperValu stores and five Centra stores recognised at the awards for their outstanding commitment to excellence in food safety.

The awards recognise Musgrave retailers who have shown ongoing commitment, and consistently high standards of leadership in food safety.

Global assurance provider Lloyd’s Register Quality Assurance (LRQA) completed a series of store audits to measure performance against the Musgrave Retail Food Safety Standard. The results of these audits were used to carefully select the winners of this year’s awards.

Musgrave has the largest store network in the country with food safety as a key priority. The Musgrave Food Safety Standard and Independent Audit Programme provide the basis for maintaining safe food for all SuperValu and Centra customers every day.

Ian Allen, Managing Director of SuperValu & Centra, said: “We are delighted to recognise Centra Toomevara for its efforts in food safety. We think it is important to recognise exemplars of excellence in this area, which is vital to everything we do at SuperValu and Centra. These awards are an important milestone for the stores involved and we want to thank the store owners, managers, and staff for their ongoing hard work and dedication to food safety. The Musgrave Food Safety Standards, and the audit process carried out by LRQA, require an exceptional level of performance and it is a credit to the ten stores involved that they have achieved these excellent results.”
