The United States-based Americo Quality Standards Registech has awarded Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) certification to Moppet, a leading Nigerian natural baby food produced by Frills by Berta.
This was contained in a certificate issued to Frills by Berta, producers of Moppet, to confirm the Nigerian company’s conformity with HACCP for “manufacturing and processing children cereal, fruit powder and spread”.
The Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Frill by Berta, Roberta Oyedokun, described the certification as a significant achievement that underscores Moppet’s dedication to maintaining the highest food safety and quality standards.
She emphasised that the health and well-being of Nigerian babies remain a top priority for Moppet.
Oyedokun said, “We are happy to announce that Moppet has achieved HACCP certification, solidifying our commitment to providing the safest and most nutritious baby food to Nigerian families.
“At Moppet, the health and well-being of Nigerian babies is our top priority. This HACCP certification is a testament to our dedication to ensuring the highest standards of food safety, giving parents peace of mind.
“This is a momentous occasion for Moppet. With HACCP certification, we are not only meeting global food safety standards but also setting a new benchmark for quality and innovation in the Nigerian baby food industry.”
She explained that the company would continue to invest in cutting-edge technology and training of employees to further enhance its food safety practices.
“HACCP is a globally recognized food safety management system that identifies, assesses, and controls potential hazards that may occur in the food production process. By implementing HACCP, Moppet ensures that its products meet stringent safety and quality criteria, protecting consumer health and building trust.
“HACCP certification reinforces our commitment to transparency and trust. We are proud to offer Nigerian parents baby food that is not only delicious but also safe and reliable,” the child advocate added.
This comes a few months after the founder of Moppet was selected by the United State Department of States to join other African leaders for the Mandela Washington Fellowship in the United States.
