This has made Gala the first and only sausage roll in Nigeria to receive endorsement from the HALAL Certification Authority on its compliance with global practices on food safety.
The certification was presented to the management of UAC Foods Limited on July 15, 2021, after an extensive evaluation and audit of the manufacturing process for the company’s flagship brand, Gala Classic Sausage Roll, and the exciting new variant – Gala Spicy, further enriching the Nigerian snacking experience on the go.
Abdulazeez Ajala, Lead Auditor, Halal Certification Authority, stated that “All consumers within Nigeria, can be assured they are consuming a Halal compliant product that is safe and beneficial to their health”. He further emphasised the authority’s endorsement of UAC Foods Limited for its adequate compliance with all standard practices while also encouraging continuity.
The process of certification comprised an assessment of the company’s beef vendors across the federation, including a review of the process of preparation and packaging of the beef for the sausage rolls, as well as an audit of material documentation.
