Only when we are fully satisfied with the results will we deliver dishes to our customers. where quality matters Operating from a state-of-the-art factory in the heart of Wiltshire, apetito has the processes and systems required to ensure meals leaving the location are the best they can possibly be. Launched in 1995 and occupying over six acres, our ‘safe food factory’ manufactures almost one million meals and desserts every week. Segregated into high and low-risk with physical barriers and colour codes, innovative dispensary and allergen control: the factory’s separate departments are dedicated to preparing dishes, butchery, cooking, de-boxing, canning and storage. The temperaturecontrolled final packing area leads to the cold store and despatch. Assurances and accreditation The factory has achieved the BRC (British Retail Consortium) Global Standard for Food Safety Issue 5 accreditation – the highest possible level. apetito do not hold BS5750 or ISO 9001 as these quality assurance systems do not demand high quality – they simply demand that a given standard is achieved. Our operations are CHAS (Contractors Health and Safety Scheme) accredited and we also operate to ISO 18001 Health and Safety Management Systems. In addition, NHS Supplies, numerous local authorities, and the Meat and Livestock Commission have audited the factory. The factory also has an EC export license for meat and fish products. Onsite laboratory As well as physical and taste checks on our produce, apetito verifies its standing as a sustainable food manufacturer, with scientific analysis. As most of our customers are vulnerable people, it is important that we are socially responsible and have robust systems in place to ensure that our meals are always safe, healthy and nutritious. apetito’s onsite laboratory leads the way in the food and catering solutions sector. Independently audited and accredited to CLAS (Campden Laboratory Accreditation Service) standard, it enables our positive release system, in which we quarantine every product until we analyse and test the batch. Only once the product has met strict microbiological criteria, and we know it is completely safe, will we release it for despatch. The laboratory also allows us to perform chemical analysis of products to confirm nutritional contents. In turn, this enables us to provide customers and consumers with accurate nutritional information.
