Product Quality

The company is accredited with the highest level standard from the European Food Safety Inspection Service (EFSIS) ensuring that our products comply with all legal, safety and quality requirements. This accreditation is recognised by and often forms a prerequisite for many of the UK major multiple retailers.

By complying with the British Retail Consortium (BRC) requirements Humdinger is able to demonstrate that it has both an effective Quality Management System (QMS) and that it is actively employed within the business. As part of the Humdinger QMS all products undergo a Hazard Analysis and Critical Control points (HACCP) study to ensure that all food safety issues are assessed, validated and verified. Other requirements that are met as part of the British Retail Consortium (BRC) accreditation include regular scheduled audits to ensure our QMS is operating effectively. All suppliers of packaging and raw materials are vetted and supplied to an agreed specification. A crisis management team is in place which is regularly tested to ensure that any product recall is met with a prompt and effective response.
