BRC Audit and Accreditation 2015
In June 2015 UIL Blending Solutions once more achieved a Grade A BRC Food Certification accreditation. As a result, UIL Blending Solutions have been consistently accredited to this important food-industry standard for a total of 9 years.
While the certification process continues to be managed and approved by the The British Retail Consortium (BRC), the work required to obtain this accreditation is considerable and constantly updated to reflect changes to industry safety and quality standards. You can visit the BRC webpage for more information, or find out about our own QMS system and other quality accreditations on our Quality page.
Debby Beattie - Flavourist at UIL Blending Solutions
Since Debby Beattie, a flavourist with more than 35 years' experience, joined UIL Blending Solutions approximately 8 months ago, she has been working to develop a wide range of flavours suitable for the food industry - to include culinary and snack - as well as pet food flavours.
These flavours form just part of a wider flavour portfolio that Debby is working on, all of which can be modified based on clients' requirements.
As well as working closely with customers to create or design flavours in their development kitchen, UIL Blending Solutions offers advice and consultancy services to support your flavour project, either working directly to a brief, or helping you identify your requirements and produce flavours best suited to your needs.
