 Gardenia runs a machine that can produce 6,000 loaves of bread AN

HOUR! In the same plant, they have a machine that can do 4,000
loaves/hour as well as a machine that can do 2,000 loaves/hour.

 Feeder trucks go out every day to different locations where smaller

trucks meet them to further deliver the bread to the retail outlets so
that consumers get them fresh every day.

 Every day also (esp for big retail outlets), unsold bread is taken back by
Gardenia and brought to a holding area in the plant. There, contractors
buy all the unsold bread. These are processed and broken down as fish
meal. No returned bread is resold for human consumption. The holding
area is thoroughly cleaned after all the bread is taken so that no
chances of bacteria or molds can get into the production area.

III. Quality Control/Quality Assurance
 Throughout the manufacturing process, several techniques are
included to assure the quality of the bread. In the dividing/rounding
stage, cut dough are passed through a check weigher so that every
loaf weighs the same. Cut dough that are over- or underweight drop
from the conveyor belt into a pan. The dough collected here is put
back into the mixer.
 In every 1000 loaves baked, one is randomly selected for quality
check. Here, several parameters are tested (e.g. temperature). This
bread is also sent to the laboratory and is subjected to several tests.
 In the packaging system, visual and physical testing is done by the QC
analyst
 Before the slicing stage, every bread is passed through a metal
detector to ensure that the bread are free of metal contaminants(e.g.
Lead)
 Gardenia has been ISO 9001:2008 certified and HACCP(Hazard
Analysis and Critical Control Point) certified since 2003.

IV. Waste Management

 Indirect firing system is used during oven baking wherein

environmental fuel is used
 As the loaves leave the automatic slicer, some are not
properly sliced and some are accidentally dropped on the
floor. These unwholesome bread are collected and are later
sold as fish meals.
 Since one of Gardenia’s missions is to serve only the best
quality of bread to its consumers, it ensures that all of its
products are guaranteed fresh. And to do this, Gardenia
collects all of its products from the market every three days
after its release even though it has not reached its expiration
date yet.
