KG. As he also points out, trading partners and customers will find staff from all the departments available to answer their questions about the supply of produce, logistics, quality assurance and marketing.
�For Fyffes the subject of food safety is of paramount importance, especially against the background of current discussions about pollutants and other major issues. Although every conceivable safety standard is guaranteed for all Fyffes� products, we are nevertheless making every effort to provide complete documentary proof of the traceability of all our products. It is essential that Fyffes� customers and consumers should and can be certain that the Fyffes logo is a guarantee of this standard�, according to Coen Bos, Managing Director Fyffes Bananas and Pineapples.
