Two local SuperValu stores were among those recently presented with the Supreme Hygiene Award by Martin Kelleher, managing director SuperValu and Irene Collins, managing director Excellence Ireland Quality Association (EIQA) at the 2013 SuperValu Quality Awards ceremony held in Killarney.

Riordan’s SuperValu Fermoy and Reidy’s SuperValu Mitchelstown completed the SuperValu National Hygiene & Food Safety programme which is independently audited by EIQA, with the Supreme Hygiene Award identifying and rewarding retailers that have performed to a consistently high level over a three year period.

These quality awards validate the ongoing commitment to rigorous quality measures these SuperValu demonstrate and ensure the highest hygiene levels are continuously met.

Congratulating the winners, SuperValu's managing director, Martin Kelleher said: "Quality is at the heart of everything we do and the record number of SuperValu stores that have achieved this quality award is a real testament to this."

Irene Collins, managing director, EIQA said today’s consumer expects and demands high standards at all levels. "However, it is the consistency in this delivery that ensures an organisation achieves stand out and SuperValu certainly is recognised amongst the wider community for its outstanding results in this area,” adding that it is very important that such achievements are acknowledged and applauded and so become an incentive for others to strive to reach the same high standards.
