Selection and Auditing of suppliers
- China Spice Services has selected its suppliers based on repeated factory visits and audits since the start in 2008.
- We have set up the quality systems with each supplier and we have defined the operating procedures for every product that we buy.
- We keep in each factory a sample library with the reference samples for processing.
- We gave all the approved suppliers trial orders to validate the quality of the systems, procedures and most important the quality of the products.
- Our inspectors are present during the processing of the orders and adjust the procedures where needed.
- The approved suppliers are awarded with more orders when the performance is proven.
- We support the suppliers that can demonstrate lot tracing from the farm level and incoming raw materials till the finished products.
- We value the good attitude of the suppliers to the inspection and quality control scheme. A good attitude is proven to be as important as the good hard ware to process the products.
