health and safety impacts of products

Grupo Herdez has a Research and Development Department, which is responsible for the development of healthy, nutritious, and safe products of the highest quality, that fulfill the needs of our clients and consumers.

To ensure this is accomplished we have a Quality and Safety Management System therefore 100% of our brands are certified under the FSC22K standard, in accordance with client and domestic requirements, such as the Federal Commission for Protection Against Sanitary Risks (COFEPRIS, Comisión Federal de Protección contra Riesgos Sanitarios) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the case of exports to the United States.

Additionally, the labels on all our products comply with the applicable regulations in the country of final destination, since the label is the main way of communicating the consumers of the nutritional information of each product, including the contents; the origin of its components; the safety instructions; and the best way to dispose of or recycle the packaging.
In the case of Mexico, the label is designed in accordance with:

• Regulations for the Sanitary Control of Products.
• NOM-050-SCFI-2004: Commercial Information; the Official Mexican Standard for the General Labeling of Products.
• NOM-051-SCFI/SSA1-2010: The Official Mexican Specifications for the Labeling of Prepackaged Food and Non-alcoholic Beverages – Commercial and Sanitary Information.
