World Food Safety Day 2024
On June 7th we mark World Food Safety Day. This year's theme, "Prepare for the Unexpected" is a timely reminder of the importance of resilience and readiness in ensuring food safety.
Food safety and quality is a non-negotiable at Glanbia and we consider it an inherent part of our values and our commitment to our customers and consumers. Our purpose, delivering better nutrition, speaks to the core principles of food safety and nutrition for health and wellness.
Brian Phelan, CEO Glanbia Nutritionals and Executive Sponsor for Quality and Food Safety, said: “We are confident that we have the capability in our plants, our people and in our processes to deliver food safety excellence. I particularly want to commend our fantastic team working across the business in this area, delivering for our customers and consumers every day.”
To meet our commitment, we’ve built a comprehensive food safety and quality program – our Glanbia Quality System (GQS) - which ensures governance and compliance to the highest standards.
Over the past year, many sites made excellent progress, reflecting the commitment of our employees.
-
100% of our sites are certified to an external food safety certification (ie GFSI / NSF)
-
95% of sites at, or exceeding, our GQS benchmark
-
Zero ‘major findings’ from external food safety certification audits
