No Melamine Here
October 10th, 2008
We have been fielding requests from several of our large customers asking about the provenance of the milk that we use in our Caramel and White Chocolate syrups. The melamine scare in China has all food manufacturers on edge. And rightly so, because some food companies look for the least-expensive ingredients they can find.
Mont Blanc sources a lot of ingredients and raw materials from all over the world and we are constantly faced with verifying and auditing everything that we purchase. Our Director of Quality Assurance is continually working to ensure that every ingredient we source comes from trusted, reliable suppliers. We do not purchase any milk products from China.
A top-notch supply chain is critical to Mont Blanc’s success. Rest assured we would never compromise the quality of our syrups with lower-grade ingredients. And we pledge to maintain our current QA level, which many consider to be above the industry standard.
