Central Foods Policies

Environmental Policy

Central Foods Group is committed to practical measures to ensure the environmental responsibilities of the Company are discharged.

The Company accepts its obligations, both legal and social, to employees and to other persons who may be affected by our activities.

This environmental policy embraces:

A Health and Safety Policy for office staff and visitors
Compliance with Packaging Waste Regulations 1997
Audit of the Good Manufacturing Practices of our Suppliers to ensure they have adequate environmental control in their operations.

The Company will ensure all packaging of its own label products is the minimum necessary for physical protection, safety and delivery of its products to the point of use.

Where feasible, recycled stationery materials will be used.

In addition, we will demonstrate respect for our neighbours' environment in avoidance of undue noise, minimal commercial traffic entering the site, and the safe and prompt disposal of all waste materials.

Quality Policy

It is the policy of Central Foods Ltd to provide its customers and the final consumer with food products of the appropriate quality, which conform fully to all relevant legislation and meet any special requirements and specifications the Company may lay down.

The Company has considered, in particular, the wide-ranging implications of the Food Safety Act 1990 and acknowledges the continuing need to give Food Safety the highest priority. In achieving this, the Company further recognises the need to continue its commitment by:

Establishing and maintaining a quality system which meets the requirements of the BRC Technical Standard.
Monitoring, identifying and implementing changes brought about through technical and legal developments.
Appreciating further the expectations of the customer with a view to improving product development and food safety in general.
Increasing the level of safety awareness of its suppliers through information and dissemination of knowledge.
Minimising risks in respect of defective products in general circulation through the operation of crisis management plans.
Evaluating the quality of food prior to sale, through testing, quality assurance controls and record keeping.
Encouraging existing and new suppliers to review and improve standards.
The Company will implement, maintain and review systems necessary for controlling the Safety of Food Products sourced by them.
All exclusive lines and own brand products marketed by the Company will be sourced, specified, managed and marketed in such a manner as to ensure that they meet all relevant legal, regulatory and safety requirements.
The necessary quality standards of a product will be maintained at all times through validation of its supplier's quality control systems.
