As a leading food and beverage player with a growing multinational presence, URC is committed to upholding consumer satisfaction and confidence. We intend to do much more in the coming years to further promote responsible production and consumer well-being.

Following through on our promise of food safety, we ensure that our consumers are protected at each stage of our supply chain, by adopting standards set down by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). These international accreditations are renewed every three years and with constant checks to ensure consistent practice. Our certifications include: ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management System, ISO 140001:2004 Environmental Management System, ISO 17205:2005 PAO Accredited Laboratory, and Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP).

Internal controls are in place at each stage of production for all URC products. Furthermore, we emphasize audit and mitigation processes in our manufacturing sites, especially in line with globally accepted standards.

In 2016, we also engaged SGS S.A., a leading multinational providing inspection, verification, and certification services, to do another round of assessment and recertification for our total Branded Consumer Foods Group (BCFG) supply chain system. SGS has more than 1,800 offices and laboratories worldwide, and with their assistance, we are in the process of attaining the HACCP certification and the Food Safety System Certification (FSSC) 22000 for all the BCFG plants by 2017 and 2018, respectively.
