Versatile partner of Jumbo.
What is the trigger?
Précon functions at Jumbo Supermarkets as an extension of the entire quality department, in which consultants with different areas of expertise are flown in to support where needed. These expertises range from food to non-food, from packaging requirements to sustainability claims, from allergens to raw material hazards.
How did we help?
Précon thinks along with a working method for assurance of food safety hazards (as described by NVWA in info sheet 64). When changes occur in the landscape of labeling requirements, Jumbo asks Précon for advice on how to deal with these changes in practice. Providing weekly updates via the Food Law Guide on all legislative changes at the European and national level helps quality managers stay abreast of legal requirements more easily.
We also developed a number of custom e-learning modules for Jumbo. These modules help Jumbo's suppliers to enter information into the systems. Précon also provides <a href="https://www.precongroup.com/trainingen/"" training and workshops< a> for Jumbo employees on the shop floor to help them meet the applicable quality standards.

Labeling & product information
Every year, some 4,000 Private Label products are newly developed or receive a change in recipe, requiring product specification and label changes. Both must contain the correct legal information and labels must not mislead the consumer. This requires extensive knowledge of and experience with both European and national legislation. For this reason, Jumbo Supermarkets has chosen to outsource specification management and additional label compliance by Précon. Précon relieves Jumbo in the entire process, from releasing the specification to the supplier, to checking completed information, to coordination with range managers, buyers and designers at Jumbo.
Précon thinks along with Jumbo about the most optimal way to set up the entire labeling process. With the experience Précon now has of this process, they understand the challenges that lie in coordination between various parties. From challenges on the supplier side in completing systems, to challenging deadlines in the influx of new products, the Précon team works closely with Jumbo to make it all run as smoothly as possible!
