Since the Nordic investors entered the Latvian retail food market in the mid-nineties<br />
of last century, Rimi Baltic has a strong position in Latvia.<br />
In 2003 RIMI (largest large-scale retailer) in Latvia added a rider to its annual<br />
agreements with suppliers containing detailed product quality demands. In Latvia<br />
RIMI has established a database of suppliers’ quality guarantees to improve safety<br />
and quality control and facilitate product traceability. Each store Rimi is responsible<br />
for guaranteeing food safety by maintaining appropriate sanitary conditions and<br />
inspecting its food preparation routines and storage temperatures. In Latvia and<br />
Lithuania ICA Baltic complies with HACCP using an established sanitary program<br />
and food handling routines. During the year ICA MENY and HACCP quality audits<br />
conducted at all its distribution units.<br />
By demanding of that suppliers continuously make environmental improvements and<br />
expanding its eco-labelled product range. ICA can help to reduce society’s overall<br />
impact on the environmental.<br />
