Opening Doors to the Future, Edition 2009
Through its educational program "Opening Doors to the Future," Vel Pitar offers children nationwide the opportunity to see how bread is produced, what a factory looks like, and to learn the manufacturing conditions a "baker" must respect to insure that the bread we eat is healthful.
The educational program includes factory visits, as well as workshops that focus on healthful food and consumers' rights. During the factory visit, a production specialist explains to students, accompanied by teachers, the flow of bread through the manufacturing process, and the importance of the hygiene and food-safety regulations Vel Pitar employees follow in order to maintain the safest production conditions. In addition, basic information regarding nutrition and the bakery products is provided.
