Our commitment to food safety
In light of the food safety concerns that have affected South Africa, where hospitalisations and tragic losses have been linked to contaminated food from spaza shops, we want to reaffirm our commitment to the safety and well-being of our customers and their communities.
The safety and quality of every Food Sock has always been our top priority. These are the measures we take to make sure every product you receive meets the highest standards.
Regular inspections
Our factory is routinely inspected by certified health authorities.
Independent lab testing
Clean results from Mérieux NutriSciences, an internationally accredited laboratory (November 2024).
Halaal certified
Food Sock Meals holds a current Halaal certificate.
Regular health inspections
Our factory, where every Food Sock is carefully packed, is inspected routinely by certified health authorities.
Voluntary laboratory testing
While it isn’t required by law, we go a step further and send food samples to Mérieux NutriSciences, an internationally accredited laboratory, for comprehensive testing for potential contaminants. Our most recent tests, in November 2024, came back clean.
A consistent and trusted supply chain
To keep every Food Sock consistent and made with safe, untainted ingredients, we source our raw materials from trusted suppliers and build long-term relationships across our supply chain.
