Consumer demand for organic food has significantly grown over the last three years and with this comes a critical need to uphold the standards established at every point in the supply chain. 

Third-party food ingredients logistics company, Atchison Topeka has been awarded Organic Food Federation Certification for maintaining these standards at their vital point along the supply chain.

Organic produce is traceable from 'farm to fork' (growth to consumer) and every stage of the journey has to be inspected, examined and certified. Atchison Topeka ensures full traceability and compatibility of all products, eliminating any potential contact with toxic pesticides. This guarantees the integrity of any product marketed as organic. 

Atchison Topeka extends their level of commitment to organic products by actively seeking to minimise emissions produced by every journey made. With a fleet of 50 new 'low emission' trucks and effective use of the groupage model, the company is committed to reducing its carbon footprint.

Quality manager, Joanne Bradley says; ''Atchison Topeka ensure the safety and organic integrity of all consumer food products, which is really important for people who have strong ethical views on the provenance of the food they eat. I am really proud that we have been awarded Organic Food Federation Certification. It is a fantastic achievement and complements our BRC accreditation.''
