ISO 22000 Certified Turkish Bay Leaf Producer
OUR QUALITY COMMITMENT
Our Certificates
Our compliance with international standards is documented by independent auditing organizations.
For a B2B buyer sourcing bay leaf from Türkiye, certification is the difference between a promise and proof. Food-safety and sustainability credentials show that hygiene, traceability and environmental controls are documented and independently verified rather than assumed. KRD & EKAM backs its Alaçam production with two recognised standards, so wholesale and import customers can audit the supply chain with confidence.
ISO 22000 Food Safety
Our ISO 22000:2018 Food Safety Management System certification covers the full bay-leaf chain at our facilities — post-harvest drying, sorting and calibration, essential-oil distillation and packaging — under HACCP-based hazard control.
For a wholesale or import buyer it guarantees that every lot is produced under documented hygiene, traceability and process controls aligned with international food-safety expectations, reducing compliance risk at the destination market.
The formal certificate number, issuing body and validity period are stated in the downloadable PDF and are available on request.
Zero Waste Certificate
Our Zero Waste (Sıfır Atık) Certificate, issued under the Turkish Ministry of Environment regulation, covers waste segregation, recovery and recycling practices across our production facilities.
It gives buyers a documented sustainability and CSR reference point, supporting their own responsible-sourcing and supply-chain reporting requirements.
The formal certificate number, issuing authority and validity period are stated in the downloadable PDF and are available on request.
