Industry Perspective · World Food Safety Day
Food safety starts at the ingredient level.
In 2025, 5,471 food and drink recalls and alerts were recorded in Europe, underlining the continued importance of food safety across the entire supply chain.
The Risk
Risk begins before the production line.
Many food safety risks do not begin on the production line. They begin earlier, at the ingredient and supplier level. Missing or outdated certifications, undeclared allergens, incomplete documentation or suppliers that are approved once but not regularly reviewed can all create risk for manufacturers.
At TwoRoots Ingredients, we believe food safety starts before production, with the right ingredient partner and the right sourcing process. Choosing an ingredient is not only a matter of functionality, taste or price. It is also a question of reliability, transparency and the systems behind the product.
Our Approach
Certified partners, structured sourcing.
This is why we work with partners such as Solufruit, a producer with years of production experience and certifications including FSSC 22000, IFS Food, Organic, Halal and Kosher. These certifications help demonstrate a structured approach to food safety, quality management and market requirements.
For food and beverage manufacturers, a reliable ingredient partner can support safer sourcing decisions by helping ensure that documentation, certifications, quality expectations and supplier standards are taken seriously from the beginning.
The Takeaway
Trust is part of the product.
Food safety is not only a supplier's responsibility. It is also part of the sourcing partner's role. For manufacturers, choosing the right ingredient partner means choosing a partner who understands that quality, documentation and trust are part of the product itself.
