International standards

Our products comply with international food standards (FAO/WHO, Food Chemical Codex, etc.) as well as USA and European pharmacopoeia as applicable to the destination they are designed for. 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).

Genetically modified organisms (GMO) labelling

Our hydrocolloids are produced using non-genetically modified plant or microbial materials. Depending on the sales region and customer requirements, soy proteins, starches, maltodextrins and lecithins are supplied with full traceability in place to document that GM labelling is not required.

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 agreed specifications and agreed applicable standards and legislation.
• Careful selection of raw materials, exact 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 are currently involved in a HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points) and/or a GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) program.
