The identification, control and awareness of allergens is a growing challenge facing the food industry. Cranswick plc is committed to a policy of providing our customers with clear, unambiguous labelling of any allergens or their derivatives, which may be present in the raw materials we purchase and the products we produce so that the end consumer can be confident in the purchases decisions they make in meeting their dietary needs.

It is the policy of Cranswick plc to work with our suppliers to ensure that the products we supply to our retail, food service and food manufacturing customers are free from the presence of genetically modified ingredients, additives, flavourings or derivatives thereof.

Avoiding the adulteration, and/or presence of residues and contaminants in the raw materials we purchase and the food products we produce is of paramount importance to Cranswick Group and our customers. We are committed to a policy of ensuring that we and our suppliers operate to industry best practice and are in full compliance with specified legal limits, and in the case of pesticide and medicinal residues, that our producers operate to recognised codes of practice by ensuring that relevant withdrawal periods are followed prior to the produce or animal entering the food chain.
