The quality of our manufacturing processes and products are integral to our future prosperity. In Australia all 19 of our AgriProducts plants are Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (Feedsafe ®) certified and our quality management system are registered to the comprehensive industry standard. These registrations acknowledge that Ridley’s manufacturing processes are transparent, verifiable and in step with the rest of the food industry.

We are undertaking HACCP audits of major suppliers to further guarantee that only the highest quality product is made by Ridley.

All Cheetham Salt’s sites are registered to ISO 9002. The sites that produce salt for food products are HACCP certified.
