Food Safety Commitment
Gandour has developed food safety and quality requirements based on the internationally recognized standards, HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point), GMPs (Good Manufacturing Practices), GHPs (Good Hygiene Practices), GWPs (Good Warehouse Practices) and local regulatory and statutory requirements related to each affiliate, to prevent any potential biological, chemical and physical contamination of food.
Gandour is committed to develop and implement strict non-negotiable policies and practices across the entire food production chain from external providers management, material procurement, warehousing management, manufacturing, packaging, finished goods storage and distribution to consumption.
We operate our own laboratory by qualified specialists to conduct quality checks (chemical, physical and sensorial testing) and microbiological testing for raw material and finished products. Besides, we use external accredited laboratories for similar and more specialized tests. This ensures the consumer the quality and safety of the products we provide.
