Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
Wieze, #belgium, October 20, 2022 – Barry Callebaut, the world’s leading manufacturer of high-quality #chocolate and cocoa products, announced today that the cleaning of its factory in #wieze, #belgium, is nearing completion and, as a result, is back to operating at normal capacity.
Peter Boone, CEO of Barry Callebaut Group, commented: “I would like to express my deepest gratitude to our customers for their understanding during this difficult period, and to all our employees who worked tirelessly for weeks to get the #wieze factory up and running again.”
Food #safety is paramount for the Group and this was a very exceptional incident. Not only does Barry Callebaut have a #food #safety charter and procedure in place, but also over 230 colleagues working on #food #safety and quality in Europe and over 650 worldwide. At the site in #wieze, employees are trained to recognize #food #safety risks. This allowed the teams to quickly identify the risk, complete the root cause analysis and start the cleaning process.
Background
Barry Callebaut detected a salmonella-positive #chocolate production lot at its #wieze factory in #belgium on June 27, 2022. On June 29, 2022, a lecithin batch from a supplier was identified as the root cause and Barry Callebaut halted all #chocolate production lines at the factory as a precautionary measure, which prevented affected #chocolate products from entering the retail market. Barry Callebaut duly and proactively informed the Belgian #food #safety Authorities (FAVV) and remained in continuous collaboration with them on this incident.
On August 8, 2022, the first cleaned and disinfected production lines were reopened, marking an important milestone in this cleaning operation, unprecedented in scale for Barry Callebaut, as well as the successful conclusion of the first phase of its recovery plan. In the ensuing weeks, the #wieze factory continued to gradually ramp up to normal capacity. The cleaning procedure was a very time-consuming process, which had to be strictly followed in order to ensure #food #safety and the #safety of our employees.
