It focuses in particular on exports from developing countries to developed countries, most notably handicrafts, coffee, cocoa, sugar, tea, bananas, honey and wine.

Sedex

Soil Association
Wherever you see the Soil Association logo you can be sure that the food you have purchased has been produced and processed to strict animal welfare and environmental standards.

The Soil Association has probably the highest and most comprehensive standards for organic production and processing in the world


Citation plc
We use Citation’s mentoring service to ensure that we adhere to Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP) procedures. HACCP is a food safety methodology that relies on the identification of Critical Control Points (CCPs) in food production and preparation processes.

Closely monitored CCPs ensure that food is safe for human consumption. It avoids traditional ‘end product testing’ and seeks to identify hazards and reduce risks throughout all stages from producer to plate.
