The new guidelines provide clear and straightforward practices in a specific industry where special attention is required for the safety of those handling products that contain enzymes. It also shows that the different partners in the entire supply chain consider safety an integral element of the highest priority.

I congratulate my colleague and the other contributors for the great teamwork and accomplishment! The quality and safety of our products, and their handling, which are preconditions in the baking industry, have always been a high priority for AB Enzymes.
