Keeping abreast of new and innovative products emerging from the dairy industry is the key to Philpot Dairy Products maintaining a leading position in the export field.
The company works closely with Dairy Crest’s skilled team of food technology specialists to identify and develop new product opportunities.
Philpot Dairy Products also benefits greatly from the close working relationship it has forged with its respected parent company, Dairy Crest Limited, whose food safety and quality policy is:
"to provide customers with food products and services which are safe, produced under conditions of Good Manufacturing Practice and which comply in all respects with customer specifications and all legal requirements".
When sourcing products from external manufacturers, Philpot benefits from the technical back up and stringent quality standards of the Dairy Crest organisation.
In its quest for quality, the company has built a reputation for flexibility and versatility to meet the needs of an increasingly sophisticated export dairy food market.
All staff working in production, packaging, storage and distribution are trained in food hygiene standards. Managers, supervisors and operators undertake the Institute of Environmental Health Officers (IEHO) Advanced, Intermediate or Basic Hygiene Certificate.
Each product has in-process and final test schedule, which monitors the manufacturing process against details of the specification. At every stage the product is checked for quality and does not move forward until it meets the specified standards.
The safety of milk supplies is assured through regular reviews and quality control in accordance with The Milk Quality Forum for the Assessment of Milk Quality.
