Today you will visit or work in our production facilities. In these rooms we produce food for millions of people in a multi-stage process. You might also be eating products from our house in the following days.
Together, we bear responsibility for food. Therefore, please heed our hygiene instructions. Every single instruction is an important part of our food safety programme.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely Dr. Gereon Schulze Althoff
