Product Declarations and Specifications

All of your Decs and Specs are available online through your secure customer log in section. In addition we supply these with all of our products from the initial sampling stage through to finished production.

Business Continuity with Dual Redundancy

A requirement of Issue 6 BRC Standard is that a business continuity plan has been developed. We can help because we have two spice blending facilities in our Group, one in Foodmaker, Corby and the other in Scobie and Junor, East Kilbride. This means that if disaster strikes there is always a backup, ensuring you have peace of mind and keeping down time and product outages to a minimum.

Bespoke formulations are absolutely confidential and are never shared with anyone, including our sister companies without the customers authority. To activate this Dual Redundancy Business Continuity Service please see your account manager who will be happy to set it up for you.

Fully Traceable Products

All of our products are printed with fully traceable batch numbers from sample to full production runs. This allows us to trace any batch back to its time and date of production, the batches of raw materials used to create it, the supplier these came from through to the original manufacturer - be it within or out with the UK.

This means that if there is ever an issue we can pinpoint exactly the source of the problem and speedily rectify it with you. We can beat the 4 hour traceability standard required by BRC Issue 7 (3.9.2).

Environmental Management System

We continually strive to ensure our impact on the environment is kept to a minimum. We work under the ISO140001:2004 standard to ensure we are following best practice.

Please let me know if you would like to arrange a presentation on future flavour trends, the safety controls in place and the provenance of our raw materials.
