SealesWinslow recieves quality stamp

SealesWinslow’s Wanganui stock feed mill has received FeedSafeNZ accreditation, recognising the manufacture of high quality animal feed products.

FeedSafeNZ is a new quality stamp from New Zealand Feed Manufacturers Association (NZFMA) for manufacturers and blenders, designed to enhance the quality assurance of stockfeed.

SealesWinslow Chief Operating Officer Chris Brown says FeedSafeNZ gives farmers an additional level of certainty that products are safe and have been produced in a manufacturing plant which is regularly audited.

“We welcome NZFMA’s new accreditation and the industry’s focus on the production of safe feed for animals. This is an important tick of approval for our business, which will provide customers with assurance that they are receiving high quality product.”

“FeedSafeNZ accreditation covers most aspects of the production chain including feed ingredients, such as grains. We work with local arable growers as well as international suppliers to select only the highest quality ingredients,” says Mr Brown.

The quality assurance certification programme includes annual site audits, conducted by the independent third party auditor, AsureQuality.

Feed produced at the Wanganui mill is available from rural merchants PGG Wrightson, Farm Source and Farmlands, as well as Wanganui Farm Supplies and Ruapehu Farm Supplies and selected Ballance service centres.

SealesWinslow’s Morrinsville and Ashburton mills are working towards FeedSafeNZ accreditation. The company has additional distribution sites in Tauranga, Taranaki, Mosgiel, Invercargill and Greymouth.
