The Macphie brand name on a product is an assurance of product integrity and quality, that it complies with all regulations and meets all ethical standards. Our approach means that many of our standards go beyond the industry standards and what is legally required, and we continuously strive to raise our standards even higher.

Our raw materials suppliers, packaging suppliers and distributors share this philosophy and are required to have rigorous standards, systems and procedures to ensure all products we use are safe, ethical and legal.

Raw materials are carefully checked by our quality assurance analysts making sure they are within specifications. Samples are collected from each production batch and organoleptic evaluations are conducted to ensure consistency in flavour, texture, appearance and functionality.

Our Quality Standards department provides product specifications, technical and legislative advice to customers to ensure both domestic and international compliance. We have posted relevant “Policies” on line, if you have any further queries please contact the Quality Standards team on 01569 740832 for an update.
