Objective: total quality
Quality is at the centre of all Laica’s business, it underpins all its activities and planning for the future. There are three dimensions of quality at Laica and they always work together.
GOODNESS
Above all, it impacts on the choice of raw materials and recipes: in Laica, in continuity with the paternal philosophy, only first choice ingredients are used.
PRODUCTION LINES
Continuous control of production lines, in compliance of products and processes with strict acceptance standards.
PRODUCTION CHAIN
We take care of implementing and maintaining the most rigorous international food standards.
Certifications
Laica’s compliance with all the most stringent hygiene, safety and control standards has earned it a series of quality certifications that few can boast of these days and that need to be constantly updated and maintained over time: BRC ISSUE 7, IFS ISSUE 6, UTZ, RSPO, Kosher and SMETA – Supplier Ethical Data Exchange – FAIRTRADE
BRC
The BRC, the Global Food Safety Standards, provides a framework for managing product safety, integrity, legality and quality and operational controls of these criteria in the production, processing and packaging of food and food ingredients.

The INTERNATIONAL FOOD STANDARD is born in response to the need to create a unified quality assurance standard for all distributed food and retail food products. It is now a tool to ensure food security for any food processing company.
RAINFOREST AlLLIANCE
The RAINFOREST AlLLIANCE certification seal means that the product (or a specified ingredient) was produced by farmers, foresters, and/or companies working together to create a world where people and nature thrive in harmony.
RSPO
