Food Safety & Quality

Kraft Heinz is a globally trusted producer of delicious foods. We take our responsibility with respect to food safety and quality very seriously, and we will not compromise on it. We all want to have confidence in the food on our plates.

We implement a consistent, comprehensive food safety and product quality management process across our global supply chain. Through this, Kraft Heinz is committed to meeting regulatory compliance with industry standards. Our food safety and product quality management process has been designed by us for us. We utilize leading methodologies to ensure food is manufactured safely, complies with local regulations and meets or exceeds the quality standards we’ve set for our products.

Compliance with our own internal food safety and product quality management system helps ensure our owned factories are also compliant with Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) recognized certification (e.g. FSSC 22000). Many of our factories undergo third party audits and achieve third party certification to demonstrate this. Kraft Heinz also serves on the GFSI Steering Committee (alongside major producers and retailers), working through challenges to enable the GFSI objectives, including governance & technical working groups.

In addition to complying with our internal food safety and product quality management system, we also monitor other external metrics including product recall, serious incidents and factory related consumer complaints.
