Al Ain Farms for Livestock Production—the first established dairy in UAE and a leading producer of dairy products—has been awarded the ISO 22000 Certificate in a ceremony held today at the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development. In attendance were Mr. Mohammed Saif Al Suwaidi, Chairman of Al Ain Farms for Livestock Production and Mr. Alex Smith, Director, SGS Gulf Limited along with other key representatives from both organizations.

The ceremony began with a speech from Mr. Al Suwaidi who talked about Al Ain Farms’ continuous efforts to meet international standards and the importance of the award in strengthening the position of Al Ain Farms in UAE and the region.

“Receiving the ISO Certificate is a true testament to the company’s continuous efforts to provide its customers with the best quality products which meet the highest national and international standards,” commented Mr. Al Suwaidi. “We are confident that with the improvement of our product lines and the introduction of new technologies, we will be able to set the standards for the industry in UAE and the region.”

“In the last year, the market has definitely placed a greater emphasis on health and safety”, added Mr. Al Suwaidi. “As customers put more effort into determining the value of their consumer choices, we want them to know that Al Ain Farms will never compromise on the quality of their products. Throughout all aspects of our operations, we’ve worked to achieve complete quality management by investing in our equipment, our farm herd, and most importantly in our employees. We are and will always be committed to inspiring the highest levels of consumer confidence in our products and services.”

In order to secure the ISO certificate, Al Ain Farms had to pass various tests and examinations. This included planning, implementing, and maintaining a Food Safety Management System to work across the company’s operations. Al Ain Farms also had to demonstrate compliance with all applicable statutory and regulatory food-safety requirements in the UAE. This involved assessing customer requirements and effectively communicating food-safety issues to Al Ain Farms suppliers, customers and relevant interested parties.

In addition to the ISO certification, Al Ain Farms was also recently eligible for the PAS 220 Food Safety Certificate, which endorses the proactive development of pre-requisite programmes on food manufacturing safety.
