Every bag is individually stamped with a “Best Before” date, as well as a coding system that allows for identification of the exact production time to the minute, thus allowing for auditability and traceability right through the system to individual ingredients in a single bag of product. We regularly have third party independent audits that confirm the robustness of our system integrity.
