We act with respect for human values in all segments, mainly our relationship with employees, suppliers, and partners, up to the consumer.
The concept of family and excellence is part of our DNA. We place focus on our employees, from health to professional success.
A Solid Waste Management Plan (SSMP) is handled by Vapza, aiming at the proper destination of recyclable and non-recyclable waste. Correctly sorted, solid, semi-solid and recyclable waste receives appropriate destination.
Paper, cardboard, and plastic are collected weekly and taken to organizations specialized in the recycling of these materials. Solid organic waste is destined for composting and then distributed to farms close to our manufacturing site.
Liquid waste passes through VAPZA’ s Effluent Treatment Station (ETE), strictly controlled by an expert team according to local government regulations.
We are very keen on protecting the native forest around our plant and follow state guidelines on planting new trees to replace any used. Our boilers only use recyclable material, avoiding therefore any fossil fuels.
HIGH-QUALITY FOOD PRODUCTS TO YOU

Strict quality controls are followed from our raw material supply chain to final product shipment, ensure a safe environment to manufacture, pack, store and transport Vapza’s food products, meeting market requirements in Brazil and over 15 countries where Vapza exports.
Vapza’s packaging was developed specifically for thermal processing, being BPA free (free of bisphenol A), ensuring that all raw material nutrients and flavor are maintained until its consumption.
WHAT IS THE PROCESS?Our process consists of packaging raw materials in a vacuum sealed plastic bag (BPA free), steaming it inside the package and sterilizing it, eliminating microorganisms. No preservatives are added during production.
Vapza’s unique manufacturing process ensures its products to be shipped and stored at room temperature (no need for refrigeration) for a year on average.
- TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
Vapza products are transported and stored at room temperature. While inside the packaging it should not be refrigerated or frozen, as the cold can “break” the package.
