NUTROSCIENCE operates a system which delivers to our customer’s consistent product safety, legality and quality. We achieve this because our employees are chosen for their skill, knowledge, enthusiasm, and commitment. They apply these principles to ensure the success of our company by striving for excellence and continuous improvement in everything they do.

I fully endorse our method of delivering and reviewing food safety, legality and quality by means of the diligent application of the following elements:

  • A Food Safety Management System based upon the HACCP technique of risk assessment, identification of hazards and specific controls;
  • A logical Quality Management System based upon the principles of quality assurance;
  • Good Manufacturing Practices which assures both product safety and quality whilst achieving the requirements encompassed in legislation and recognised industry standards;
  • the provision of appropriate premises and facilities to enable the company to conduct its business effectively;
  • identification and provision of the appropriate resources to support the business and ensure it operates to the highest standards;
  • training and development of our people to improve upon existing standards and enable the realisation of their potential;
  • operating to the highest ethical standards in our relationships with our employees, suppliers and customers and;
  • partnership with our suppliers to foster an understanding of our business, ensuring that purchased materials and services match our agreed standards.
