  • How do you control quality during production?

We care deeply about customer service, the quality of our products, and regulatory compliance.

The quality and the food safety of our products is ensured by our quality management system based on:

  • our experience and know-how,
  • national and international legislation (CH/EU),
  • Codex Alimentarius guidelines and
  • The international standard IFS Food Version 7

Our factory is audited every year by independent auditors who check that our Quality Management System meets standard requirements.

As an international brand, we have also chosen to comply with international food safety standards such as IFS Food Version 7, to ensure we implement a unified approach.

 

  • Where do the ingredients used in your ice creams come from?

Our quality management ensures strict traceability and requires us to document and provide information about the raw ingredients we use and our finished products, as a matter of course.

We buy all our raw ingredients and packaging materials from accredited suppliers.  As well as regular quality controls performed on deliveries received at the factory, we have designed a programme to monitor contaminants and other parameters depending on the type of product concerned, in order to guarantee a premium quality product. The parameters of this monitoring programme are reviewed every year by food specialists and adjusted to accommodate recent issues within the food industry.

 

  • Are your products natural?

Mövenpick ice creams and sorbets are made using only natural ingredients which are chosen with care. The main ingredient of our ice cream is cream. Our ice cream does not have vegetable fat as an ingredient. The main ingredient in our sorbets is blended fruit and/or fruit concentrate.

All our ingredients and food additives come from well-known sources (plants, animals, minerals, micro-organisms) and are obtained using physical, enzyme and/or microbiological processes.

We only use natural flavourings. We do not use flavours which are identical to natural flavours, or artificial aromas.

Fruit or vegetable concentrates and/or extracts are used for colouring. We do not use artificial colouring.

Our ice creams and sorbets do not contain any colourings or artificial additives like mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids.

  • Vegetarian: A vegetarian can consume any of our products.

 

  • Vegans: Suitable for vegans are our sorbets and the two new vegan varieties Hazelnut Chocolate Cookie and Salted Caramel Macadamia.
