• When allergenic ingredients are kept in-house, they are stored separately and away from the products that we use to manufacture our chillies.
• We thoroughly clean food preparation surfaces using the two-stage cleaning technique prior to manufacturing out chillies.
• We ensure that food handling equipment, such as, blenders, processors and weighing scales, are cleaned thoroughly before manufacturing our chillies.
• We wash our hands properly using the correct technique before and all through manufacture.
