Cargill collaborates with farmers, food makers and industrial customers to bring new ideas to the table.

 

Quality

International standards

We offer products comply with international food standards (Codex Alimentarius, JECFA, Food Chemical Codex, etc.) as well as USA and European pharmacopoeia. We recommend that our customers refer to their relevant national regulations governing foodstuffs, as well as any associated labeling requirements for end products.

Religious approval

Depending on the individual raw materials, most of our products used in the food industry can be approved by religious authorities (Kosher and Halal).

Quality assurance

Our approach to quality assurance includes:

  • Strict, regular checking, using highly sophisticated methods and equipment, to ensure that our commercial products comply with specifications, applicable standards and legislation
  • Careful selection of raw materials, control of production parameters, well-trained and experienced personnel and systematic inspection of our products at the semi-finished and final steps
  • A very demanding quality assurance system involving staff at all levels.

Today, almost all of our plants are certified according to ISO 9001 or 9002 norms or, in the USA, according to American Institute of Bakery standards. Our production facilities currently apply HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points) and/or a GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) program.

Some Cargill products are only approved for use in certain geographies, end uses, and/or at certain usage levels. It is the customer's responsibility to determine, for a particular geography, that (i) the Cargill product, its use and usage levels, (ii) the customer's product and its use, and (iii) any claims made about the customer's product, all comply with applicable laws and regulations.
