Tree-Nuts › Food Safety
In order to ensure that the food supply is safe for the consumer and that our products meet the foreign and domestic (EU) regulatory requirements we have a strong focus on safety and quality.
We use a food safety system called Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP). Daarnhouwer is HACCP certified since 2004. HACCP is a scientific, systematic approach that assesses potential food safety issues across the food chain, from procurement and handling of raw materials, to manufacturing, distribution and consumption of the finished product. HACCP establishes preventive measures to keep out potential food hazards and focuses on effective record keeping to demonstrate a continual commitment to food safety.
Part of this program forces us to stay fully informed about all (changes in) EU regulation and legislation concerning the products we work with. Our team has extensive knowledge in this field, thereby closely cooperating with several independent laboratories and national and international associations involved.
Next to this, we utter an extensive control of every product that is being stored in our warehouse in the Netherlands. First of all we sample and analyse the incoming product ourselves. At random, we also have the product analysed by an independent accredited laboratory. We rate the contact we have with our suppliers of great importance. On a regular basis, we travel abroad to visit and inspect the production sites. During our visit, we keep a close eye on all facets that involve hygiene and food safety.
