Good taste and safety underpin Dr. Schär's commitment to producing high quality products for people with special dietary requirements.
This process requires dedication, effort and experience above that which is required for the production of conventional foods. Above all, we are mindful of our responsibility to protect and maintain the health and wellbeing of our consumers. In this regard we place great emphasis on ensuring that every step of the manufacturing process is carefully monitored for safety and quality. Thistask is undertaken by Dr. Schär's Quality Assurance (QA) team.
Safety from the raw material to the finished product
Worldwide, a team of over 40 QA employees ensure that quality and safety at all of our production sites meet the highest standards, from the raw material to the finished and packaged product. To this end, Dr. Schär works closely with cereal farmers with whom the company has maintained long-term partnerships. In addition, our suppliers are regularly audited to ensure strict safety and quality standards are upheld.
