Quality control system and certificates
Steenland Chocolate manufactures top quality chocolate and guarantees complete consumer food safety. We produce conform GMP principles and we have a strict HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) system in place. This is a preventive approach to food safety, even before inspection of our finished chocolate products. Steenland Chocolate is fully IFS- and BRC-certified.
External quality and safety audits
We produce all of our chocolates in our own production facility, following the highest hygiene standards. We regularly welcome external auditors, who ensure that we follow correct procedures for hygienic work processes, storage and cleaning. They also assess the state of our premises, production halls and the traceability of the raw ingredients we use, as well as our final chocolate products. We continuously invest in our factory in order to be at the forefront of the strictest hygiene and quality control standards for confectionery production.
IFS-certified
Steenland Chocolate is certified at the highest IFS level. The IFS (International Food Standard) quality norm specifies the requirements for producers that supply to IFS-compliant retailers. These requirements comprise hygiene standards, building specifications and regular product checks and controls.
BRC-certified
Steenland Chocolate has been BRC-certified for years. The BRC Food Technical Standard was introduced to guarantee the quality and safety of products sold by members of the British Retail Consortium, representing 90% of retail trade in the UK.
