Technical and quality

We have an internationally recognised quality management system in place, and a team of experienced and qualified technical specialists with knowledge of everything from Quality Management Systems to legal compliance. We work only with suppliers who adhere to at the least one rigorous and established international quality standard, like ISO Quality Standards or the IFS International Food Standard. We also encourage supplies to join the SGF Irma scheme, which stands for Sure-Global-Fair.

We go beyond our regulatory responsibilities in assuring quality, creating the standards that set the industry benchmark:

• Our In-house Supplier Audit programme carries out regular supplier performance reviews.
• Our Authenticity-testing programme aims to ensure that all our raw materials comply with the European Fruit Juice Regulation and the various AIJN (European Fruit Juice Association) codes of practice.
• Our dedicated and experienced teams of laboratory technicians thoroughly assess samples from around the world before use.
• Our raw material specialists keep up to date with all new legislation, quality and authenticity issues by attending seminars.
