Quality Assurance

Raw Materials
‍All raw materials are sourced mainly from Europe and the USA and comply with our standards for Heavy Metals, Pesticides,Microbial and Mycotoxins. These standards are borne out of regulations pre-established in the USA and Canadian markets. A Certificate of Analysis showing compliance to heavy metals and pesticide limits is required for each batch of raw materials used to make our cones. Food Safety Certificates and Vegan Friendly Statements are also available for all products produced by Abellio Productions.

‍Testing
‍All raw materials are quarantined upon arrival to site. Each batch is sampled and sent for testing against our Heavy Metal and Pesticides standard. Once a pass is confirmed by an external ISO Certified Lab, the raw materials are, only then positively released for use in production. This ensures that the product is of the desired quality with no exposure to contamination while in transit.

HBI International has engaged Abellio Productions, LTD to operate a three-tiered quality control protocol:

In line quality control using advanced detection systems
Offline quality control inspections employing AQL sampling plan methodology.
A third layer of controls involves testing on random samples of the final product, again to ensure no cross contamination has occurred during production of the cones.

All test results are held on file, and a COA is issued with every shipment along with Certificates of Conformance, upon customer request. This three-tiered approach ensures we are packing with confidence in the quality of our products.

‍Traceability
All production within the facility uses a full track and trace system, with batch codes being generated and applied to the product as it is packed for shipping. This gives complete visibility of the supply chain, enhancing supplier accountability and customer satisfaction through confidence in quality.

‍Training
All employees, across all departments in the organization, engage in a training program focusing on the overall quality of the final product, specifically targeting early identification of product defects so speedy intervention can Irradicate these defects, maintaining a ‘Pack with Confidence’ first principle.
