Frosty Boy Australia wins international seal of excellence

Frosty Boy has received  world-leading  food safety and quality certification, and
the manufacturer’s new facility in Yatala has received an ‘Excellent’ rating in its Safe Quality Food (SQF) audit.

Frosty Boy was found to have a ‘Level 3 Comprehensive Food Safety and Quality Management System’ – the top rating, which covers Frosty Boy’s products including dairy powders, creams, beverage bases, gelato, jellies and soft serve.

An independent assessment, SQF is an internationally recognised food safety and quality management system and provides certification the manufacturer complies with food safety regulations in both domestic and international markets.

Frosty Boy has held an SQF certification since 2013 and the most recent audit provides evidence the new factory, opened in 2014, is maintaining and complying with food safety standards.

Dirk Pretorius, Frosty Boy CEO, said the Excellent SQF rating was validation of the company’s recent investment in the purpose-built manufacturing facility and the maintenance of proven systems and processes.

“This certification provides our customers with added confidence that the Frosty Boy products are manufactured using best practice systems,” he said.

“An SQF rating is an internationally recognised program and helps us reach new markets both here in Australia and overseas.”

As part of the audit, the Frosty Boy business was reviewed in its entirety to make certain every aspect of food safety was considered throughout its operations. 

Random tests of soft serve and beverage products were also undertaken as further evidence of compliance.

Andrea Thomson, Frosty Boy’s QA Manager, said food safety was the number one priority for the business.

“Our reputation with export markets is based on Australia’s highest standards and this ‘Excellent’ rating provides us with yet another competitive edge.”
