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
