The group adheres faithfully to strict quality controls reinforced by the awareness that a substantial portion of its products are used in the refining of oils and fats for human consumption.

Quality control measures, beginning from the extraction of raw materials up to the delivery of the finished product to customers, are implemented and monitored closely by the group’s Product Assurance Team.

Testing is carried out by the group’s in-house laboratories on every batch produced for bleaching performance, speed of filtration, residual acidity, moisture content, apparent density and particle size. Samples are also regularly sent out to independent laboratories to verify the accuracy of in-house tests.

External testing is carried out to determine the dioxin, Benzo-a-Pyrene, lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd) and mercury (Hg) content to comply with the European Union FEDIOL code of practice for the purchase of fresh bleaching earth for oil refining.
