CEO Ranjit Singh said the laboratory underlines 2 Sisters’ commitment to producing “world-class food products” and ensuring its products are safe to eat.
“We have invested a substantial sum in this lab, and as our business grows, there will be an increasing need to ensure quality and safety go hand-in-hand. It’s what the British consumer demands, and what we demand as a world-class manufacturer.”
Earlier this month the company partnered with research organisation Campden BRI to create a training and development hub for food safety at its Birmingham headquarters.
Neil Khandke, group technical director for 2 Sisters said its facilities are regularly inspected and reviewed by its customers and authorities.
