QUALITY POLICY AND CERTIFICATES

HACCP – Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point

is system designed to fight safety hazards potentially present in food throughout the manufacturing process. Any company that is involved in manufacturing and processing food has the potential to implement the HACCP system and is highly encouraged to do so. The regulation is used to protect consumers and employees from biological, chemical, and physical hazards that have the possibility of making their way into our food system.

Food is sourced worldwide to supply consumers with produce processed foods that cannot be grown or manufactured locally, which is why the HACCP system is recognized internationally. HACCP mostly focuses on raw material processing, procurement and handling, manufacturing, distribution, and consumption of the product. HACCP also requires other control points such as pest control, traceability, and hygiene training as hazard preventatives.

ISO – ISO 9001:2015

is a worldwide standard that sets requirements for a strong Quality Management System. It details specific processes, procedures and activities that organizations must create, implement, maintain and improve in order to successfully manage making products or delivering services. As an international standard, it is recognized as the foundation upon which any company will build a system to ensure customer satisfaction and improvement, and as such, many companies require it as a minimum requirement for an organization to become a supplier.
