The raw ingredients are carefully checked on arrival, and an uninterrupted cooling chain and optimised handling procedures ensure that the product remains fresh throughout the process. Our range of convenience and plant-based foods is produced in Lindesberg, some 40 kilometres north of Örebro. We are especially proud of this facility, which is the only one in Sweden for the production of plant-based foods.

It is certified in accordance with BRC, a global standard for food safety, and also has certification for the production of both KRAV-labelled and EU eco-labelled food products. The facility already has a very low impact on the surrounding environment, and we are working actively to further reduce our energy and water consumption.
