The safety of animal-based food products is inextricably linked to controlled production processes. NKV certification serves as a crucial indicator that a product has been processed according to strict hygiene and sanitation standards. Olagud is here to provide NKV-certified chicken products that prioritize food safety and consumer trust.
Many of us buy chicken or other animal products based on a simple assumption: as long as it looks fresh and is cooked properly, it is safe to consume. However, food safety is not that simple. There is a long journey before food ingredients reach your kitchen, and not all of these processes are visible to the consumer.
It is precisely in these unseen stages that risks most often arise.
Food products derived from animals have specific characteristics they are easily contaminated, sensitive to environmental cleanliness, and highly dependent on how they are raised and processed. Therefore, a surveillance mechanism known as the Veterinary Control Number (NKV) was established.
What is NKV (Nomor Kontrol Veteriner)?
NKV certification is often regarded as merely an additional label. However, for businesses that genuinely undergo the process, NKV represents a long and disciplined commitment. This certificate is awarded only to business units deemed capable of consistently maintaining hygiene and sanitation standards.
This means that the evaluation isn’t just about the final product, but about how that product is produced every single day. It covers everything from facility cleanliness and animal handling to distribution channels that minimize contamination risks.
For consumers, NKV should be interpreted as a mark of trust. It answers a question we rarely ask when shopping: Was this product processed the right way?
Why is NKV Important?
Public awareness regarding healthy food is rising rapidly. We talk about protein, fats, and balanced nutrition. Yet, the conversation often stops at nutritional content, overlooking process safety.
Even nutritious food can become a problem if produced without adequate standards. This is where NKV certification becomes relevant to the public as a form of consumer protection.
Indonesia has regulated this obligation through various laws concerning animal husbandry and veterinary public health. The goal is clear: to ensure that animal-based food circulating in the market is safe for public consumption.
Not All Products Are Produced with the Same Standards
Facts on the ground show that not all animal products on the market undergo equal supervision. There are businesses that build their foundation on standards, while others merely chase rapid distribution.
As consumers, we cannot always see the process behind the packaging. However, we can choose products that are willing to be supervised and evaluated by authorized bodies from the start. NKV certification is one way to distinguish that commitment.
Olagud and the Choice Not to Compromise
In practice, meeting NKV standards is not an easy choice. It demands consistency, investment, and continuous supervision. But it is precisely at this point that a product’s value is tested.
Olagud has made the decision to walk this path. Olagud products are NKV certified, meaning the entire process from upstream to downstream is under supervision and meets the food safety standards set by the government.
This is not about claiming to be “better,” but about the willingness to be audited, inspected, and held responsible for the products consumed by the community.
Food Safety is Trust
Ultimately, food is not just about taste or price; it is about trust. It is about what we provide to our families, our children, and our loved ones.
By choosing products that meet standards like NKV, consumers are actually taking an active role in maintaining the quality of the food ecosystem. Through its commitment to NKV certification, Olagud positions itself not just as a chicken provider, but as a part of that chain of responsibility.
Because when it comes to food, what matters most is often not what is seen, but what is done correctly even when no one is watching.
