Quality & food safety

We’re committed to meeting the highest standards of quality and food safety.

A primary goal of our corporate responsibility is to ensure that our consumers are provided with flawless, high-quality and safe products. Perfetti Van Melle has a reputation for consistently high-quality manufacturing, in compliance with all defined safety and regulatory standards.

Our manufacturing units have adopted a quality management system, and we strictly follow product quality and safety results.

We believe in global standards and use the same high standards wherever we operate, even if less-stringent local regulations exist.

Most of our manufacturing units have already achieved the ISO 9001, ISO 2200, HACCP, BRC Food, GMP Food, FSSC and IFS certificates. These certifications attest to our constant improvement attitude and our strong commitment to maintaining high quality levels in our manufacturing, research and development, and sales operations.

Some of our plants have also obtained Halal and/or Kosher certification, to meet Islamic and/or Jewish dietary requirements.

We are very focused on food safety and are strongly engaged in keeping pace with scientific and technological developments that affect the raw materials and ingredients we use in our products.

Not only do we also adopt the most stringent food regulations but, whenever possible, we replace artificial colourings and flavourings with natural equivalents, as in our Fruittella range. We also use GMO-free ingredients (except in our American factories) and provide allergen information on our labelling (for example, if they are a source of gluten) to make it easier for people with food allergies to identify ingredients they need to avoid.
