Manufacturing Standards
AthiTerra's processing operations follow Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) — the internationally recognised framework for ensuring that food products are consistently produced and controlled to quality standards appropriate for their intended use. Our GMP commitment covers every aspect of the production process:
Processing areas are designed for one-way product flow to prevent cross-contamination. Floors, walls, and equipment are made of food-safe, easy-to-clean materials. Temperature and humidity are monitored continuously.
Comprehensive cleaning and sanitation schedules are followed daily. All personnel follow strict hand-washing protocols, wear protective clothing, and pass through hygiene stations before entering production zones.
All production staff receive regular training on food safety, hygiene protocols, allergen management, and emergency procedures. Training records are documented and audited.
All processing equipment is food-grade, regularly calibrated, and maintained on a preventive schedule. Equipment logs track maintenance history and ensure operational readiness.
Every production batch is documented with complete records — raw material receipts, processing parameters, quality test results, and packaging details. This enables full traceability and rapid issue resolution.
Integrated pest management programmes are in place with regular monitoring. Water used in processing meets potable water standards and is tested at defined intervals for microbiological and chemical compliance.
Common Questions
Our products meet international food safety and export quality standards. Every batch undergoes laboratory testing for microbiological safety, acidity levels, and shelf stability. Our facility follows Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and strict hygiene protocols throughout processing.
Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) is a system of processes and procedures that ensures products are consistently produced to quality standards. For gherkin exports, GMP compliance means controlled environments, trained personnel, validated equipment, and documented processes — giving buyers confidence in every shipment.
Yes. All our products use only natural ingredients — no artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives. This clean-label approach meets growing consumer and retailer demand for transparent, natural food ingredients.
We maintain end-to-end traceability from farm to final product. Every batch is linked to its source farms, harvest dates, processing records, and lab test results. This meets the stringent traceability requirements of EU, US, and other regulated markets.
