Quality & Technical Operations
Our Quality and Technical Departments ensures that every potato leaving our facility meets the highest
standards of safety, freshness, and legal compliance. In a high-speed packing environment, our focus
remains on precision, hygiene, and full-chain traceability.
Our Food Safety & Quality Management System (QMS)
Our operations are governed by the following core pillars:
- HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points): Our facility operates under a strict HACCP plan to identify and control physical, chemical, and biological risks – from soil residue management to foreign body detection.
- Traceability Protocols: We maintain 100% “one-step-back, one-step-forward” traceability. We can trace any individual product back to the specific farm, field, and harvest date.
- Raw Material Assessments: Every load undergoes a rigorous intake quality assessment (QA) to measure dry matter content, defects, and size distribution against specific customer specifications.
Policies & Compliance
To maintain our “AA” BRCGS rating, we enforce strict site policies that protect the integrity of our products:
- Food Safety, Quality Assurance and Hygiene
- Nut and Allergen
- Clean as you go
