Sourcing and quality
What we check before a product goes on sale, and what we will always tell you.
Before anything goes on sale
VITOD is preparing its first products. Before any of them is offered for sale, we intend to confirm, for that specific product:
- the complete ingredient list and any allergens, including risks of cross-contamination declared by the producer;
- nutrition information for the finished product;
- the country of origin of the fruit, where it is required or would be useful to know;
- the drying method used;
- storage guidance and how the best before date is shown on the pack;
- the food business responsible for the product and how batches can be traced.
Where we make a claim about a product, such as how it fits a particular diet, we will hold evidence for that product and check the claim meets UK rules before using it.
