    Quality

    We abide by a stringent Quality Control policy which ensures that our high quality standards are consistently met. The entire manufacturing process is monitored by Q.C. at different stages including raw materials, packing as well as final product. We run the Batch Manager System which ensures control, accuracy and 100% traceability of raw materials and final product i.e. full batch tracking. On line QC checks are conducted every 30 minutes by a QC technician which include weights, fill volumes and seal quality. Each item is date coded with best before dates as well as batch numbers.

    We have a fully equipped laboratory on site which is manned by our qualified food technologists and R+D team. This team is responsible for new product development from formulations, testing, tasting, costing, labelling, shelf stability testing through to final product.

    Distribution, Selling, Merchandising

    All products are manufactured in our factory and finished goods sent to TFD (Tongaat Food Distributors) who distribute on a national basis. Sales and merchandising is done both internally and via agents.
