Why are we different

Global Foods maintains a chilled supply chain for all products (except syrups that must be ambient) from manufacture to our warehouse. From the minute our products come off the production line and are packed and ready to ship, they are refrigerated and remain this way all the way to the UK where it is stored in our BRC A grade refrigeration unit.

This ensures our products have the highest level of freshness on delivery, resulting in your on-shelf retail products tasting great for longer.

Customer service and food quality compliance is at the heart of everything we do. For a full breakdown of food accreditations by product (BRC, ISO2200 etc), click here
