Dan tackled this on a similar thread about protein intake. Essentially research about protein intake is out of date and not on healthy populations.
I agree with what @Latestfuels says here. @Oliver00 surely the factory will always be “some random factory”? Whether it’s in the UK or China or Canada or anywhere. We visit all factories and all are audited, we have a team dedicated to this specifically. This is taken from our Food Safety and Quality page of our site.
We work with a number of co-packers to produce Huel products, and it’s important to us that our suppliers are able to meet the highest production standards so that Huelers are delivered their products in perfect condition. All of our suppliers work to the highest food-industry-recognised standards and are BRC accredited; for more information on BRC see here. In order to gain accreditation to these standards, suppliers are independently audited annually to ensure that their production standards meet the necessary requirements. We ensure our suppliers have met these standards before we agree to produce any Huel products at any of the production sites.
In addition to this, we have our own internal quality team who work with our suppliers and we set our own product-specific processing standards that make sure Huel products are processed in a way that ensures their quality. We visit and audit all our sites frequently. All products have specific product-quality requirements and are assessed against these requirements throughout production. If we feel that any product does not meet these requirements, the product will not leave our supplier’s facility. Our quality team also taste all of our products weekly at the Huel head office to double-check products are meeting our quality requirements.
Hopefully that alleviates your concerns.
