High-cost Manufacturing
The meaning of high production cost is that, in order to guarantee consumer rights, companies reduce their profit and absorb a higher production cost, to produce materials and food with better quality. Hsin Tung Yang is one example of a company with such goals.
From the start, Hsin Tung Yang has held on to this principle. For example, Hsin Tung Yang manufactures lard oil by themselves. Normally, the lard oil we see is yellow and black because they put the pork in the pan to heat it up, but Hsin Tung Yang uses steam to heat up the pork slowly, and it appears white; this kind of lard oil is healthier for the human body. Hsin Tung Yang also uses more expensive ingredients. For example, Hsin Tung Yang used white pork in the earlier times, but they use higher quality black pork nowadays.
Except for the lard oil and the ingredients, Hsin Tung Yang uses machines to scale the weight of every jerky and make sure they all weigh the same to ensure consumer rights. Hsin Tung Yang has made great contributions to food safety, but it can sometimes be very expensive. In the traceability system Hsin Tung Yang uses, every commodity has a batch number, and each batch number includes a slaughterhouse source, slaughterhouse production process details and a purchase date. All the information and the QR code is recorded in Hsin Tung Yang’s system, and you can read about the product by scanning the QR code. You can find the information by the QR code in two ways: 1) Enter the label code (QR code) or 2) Enter the product code and the product expiration date.
Hsin Tung Yang has high standards for food safety. For example, in the factory’s restroom, you need to dry your hands before you leave, or else the door will not open. This system is expensive, but it is to guarantee food safety. In addition to sanitation measures in the restrooms, people who go into the factory, even guests, will have to wear slippers. The factory’s temperature remains below 15 degree Celsius, and this air conditioning system is costly. As you can see, Hsin Tung Yang is willing to increase their spending to guarantee the food safety of their products, so consumers can trust in the safety of the food they consume.
