Ireland is considered a global leader when it comes to food safety and we are immensely proud to be considered a leader within Ireland.
It goes without saying that food safety is of the upmost importance to our company. In fact we place it above all else when it comes to food production. We are the only the fresh salad and chilled convenience manufacturer in Ireland to have its own testing laboratory onsite, meaning that we have unmatched capabilities when it comes to turnaround times for vital tests.
A food safety issue can cause catastrophic damage long-term for brands, it is something everyone in the industry needs to be cognisant of. As a BRC AA accredited company, we take great care in all aspects of production to implement rigorous safety procedures and protocol. We are also a glass free facility which does not handle nuts.
