Moilas | Quality and Sustainability

With the wisdom of
the baker mother

Quality truly has roots at our house. The founder of our bakery, Saimi Moilanen, gave her sons a tip: “Love, honesty and the ingredients”. Still today, this has been our common guideline in our work towards the greatest culinary pleasures.

Quality is the root, and everything else, of baking

System certificates and special diet certificates are an inseparable part of the Moilas quality. Everyone of us is committed to their standards as well as continuous development.

Delicious flavours are not enough on their own. Our goal every day is to ensure product safety, consistent quality, good work habits and production hygiene. High quality also applies to our customer service and delivery reliability.

Along with our certificates, we meet the quality and product safety standards in domestic markets as well as in exports. Independent operators audit our production facilities and working habits on a yearly basis.

 

HACCP as a starting point

Our quality systems are based on Codex Alimentarius HACCP principles (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point), which guide self-supervision.

 

System certificates

 

BRCGS

Product safety is the unconditional requirement of our actions. Brand Reputation through Compliance Global Standards (BRCGS) certificate ensures that production of all Moilas bakery products meet the quality and product safety requirements set by the standard. The standard has been granted to both Moilas Paakarinpolku bakery and Moilas Hietatie bakery. An independent third-party audit is carried out annually. Some audits are unannounced.

Oiva evaluation

Oiva is a system for reporting food control report information coordinated by the Finnish Food Authority which encourages companies to take care of food hygiene and product safety. Food control authorities of different municipalities conduct the Oiva inspections.

SQMS (Supplier Quality Management System)

SQMS is McDonald´s company’s own worldwide product safety- and quality standard. Moilas Oy’s production of gluten-free hamburgers and product management have both been certified according to the standard. Audits are conducted annually.

Customer audits

Many of our local and foreign customers set certified quality systems as a term for production partnerships. The clients themselves conduct audits in addition to the system certificates. The audit can also happen unannounced.

 

Special diet certificates

 

The label of a gluten-free product

All Moilas Gluten-Free and Free From as well as Vaasan Moilas Free From bakery products are authorized by the Association of European Coeliac Societies (AOECS) to have a gluten-free label on the package. You can check these products from the catalogue of the Finnish Coeliac Society. To qualify for the label, our bakeries must undergo an annual audit of the AOECS standard. The label is an indication of the fact that the products and their raw ingredients fulfil the requirements for being a gluten-free product based on their cleanliness and meet legislative requirements. A foodstuff can include a maximum amount of 20 mg/kg of gluten (20 ppm, parts per million).

All our raw materials are wheat-free, and we do not use wheat starch. Our products are baked in our fully gluten-free bakeries in Pieksämäki.

Organic certification

Our Paakarinpolku bakery has Organic certification. The Finnish Food Authority carries out annual inspections at the bakery.

 

Halal-certificate

Those who follow a Halal diet can use Moilas gluten-free bakery products, which do not contain meat. The Halal certificate auditing is completed yearly.
