HACCAP Certified - We Know Our Roots
Australia Kava Shop's HACCAP Journey
When the Australian Government granted permission for the commercial import and sale of kava, there was a notable absence of specific provisions mandating HACCAP certified packing conditions. Building on the foundation set by our Kavalytics noble kava and moisture testing protocols, we opted to adopt a best-practice approach in response to this regulatory gap.
Despite the absence of a legal requirement, we proactively chose to ensure that all our products are packed under HACCAP certified conditions. This decision was motivated by our commitment to upholding the highest standards of quality and safety in every aspect of our kava production process. By taking this additional step, we are dedicated to ensuring that kava is presented in a professional and reputable manner across Australia, setting a benchmark for the industry and instilling confidence among consumers and stakeholders alike.
Navigating the landscape to find the perfect partner proved to be a daunting task for us, considering our status as a small startup based on the Gold Coast. Many co-packers operate primarily in larger metropolitan areas, accustomed to handling bulk production runs of up to 10,000 packs at a time. The disparity in scale and location presented significant challenges in our quest for the right fit.
After an extensive search and evaluation process, we were elated to discover the optimal collaborator in the Synergy Group located in Tweed Heads. Their unique position, expertise, and commitment to supporting employment for individuals with disabilities resonated with us, making them the ideal match for our business despite the initial hurdles faced in the search process.
HACCAP Certified:
The Synergy Group’s mission of providing supported employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities resonated deeply with our values of inclusivity and community engagement. Their specialization in managing small to medium production runs perfectly complemented our requirements, making them the perfect partner for our unique needs. Noteworthy is their HACCAP certification, which guarantees that our products are processed under the most stringent quality and safety standards in the food industry.
The weather conditions on the two days we worked with Synergy were challenging, with heavy rain and cloudy skies. Typically, such conditions are unsuitable for processing and packing kava due to the high moisture content in the air. However, Synergy’s HACCAP certified packing rooms are equipped with state-of-the-art climate and moisture control systems. This ensured that each kava package was meticulously hand-packed with care and attention by their dedicated employees, maintaining the integrity and quality of our product.
We had the privilege of working alongside the supported workers at Synergy on the production line, and we were deeply impressed by their unwavering attention to detail. This first hand experience reaffirmed our confidence in the quality of their work.
By collaborating with Synergy, not only can we assure you that your kava order is Noble certified and undergoes rigorous microbial testing, but it is also packaged with a level of passion and care that we deem essential for the success of kava in the broader Australian community.
