Quality Assured Products
Hebridean Seaweed Company Quality Policy is to provide products and services which consistently satisfy the needs and expectations of its customers. It is the hope of the company that by adopting this policy we will always strive to deliver a positive customer experience.
This level of quality is achieved through adoption of a Quality Management system that reflects the competence of the Company to existing customers, potential customers, and independent auditing authorities.
Achievement of this policy involves all our staff, who are individually responsible for the quality of their work, resulting in a continually improving quality of product being produced.
FEMAS
As part it’s commitment to quality the company was recently successful in gaining FEMAS accreditation (Feed Materials Assurance Scheme) for all its animal feed products.
The FEMAS standard is designed to cover the assurance requirements for all feed ingredients used in the production of animal feed. This standard has been developed to provide assurance to purchasers of feed ingredients that the feed ingredients they buy are safe and will meet the quality criteria specified.
The main aims of the FEMAS standard are:
- The protection of health: both of the animals that consume the feed materials certificated under this standard and of the humans consuming the livestock products derived from those animals ingesting the feed materials.
- To ensure that the feed materials certificated under FEMAS meet the quality expectations required by this standard and the purchaser.
To comply with this standard, participants need to apply the principles of Hazard Analysis (HACCP) and Good Operating Practice to their operations. Participants certificated to the FEMAS Standard have demonstrated that they have rigorous quality controls in place at each stage of their operations that meet standards currently recognised as international “good practice” and which maintain the safety and specification of the feed ingredients supplied.
All of the products manufactured by HSC are produced to this quality standard and they are also regularly tested (microbial & chemical) to ensure compliance with industry standards.
