Quality Control

Food safety is critical to the success of the Wessex Foods. It is one of the main foundations of the business and of the Irish Food Processors group.

Wessex Foods operate using a fully validated HACCP system, which is regularly reviewed by the on site HACCP team.
Every product produced on site has a batch and date code which allows each ingredient to be traced back to origin - making each product fully traceable. Wessex Foods regularly tests the robustness of this traceability system.

To offer customers complete confidence in the traceability system there is also a full product recall procedure, which is tested on a regular basis. Both the traceability and recall procedures give customers assurance of product safety and quality
At Wessex Foods, all of the meat used in our products comes from farms which operate to the highest standards of animal welfare. Wessex Foods have established codes of practice for animal welfare, which ensures that livestock is subjected to minimal stress and injury.

The IFP group works very closely with farmer groups to support and develop even further animal welfare practices.
