Andy Gardener joined the Warminster Maltstars in early March as a Laboratory Technician. With extensive experience in food manufacture and product safety he is responsible for all routine grain and malt analysis and is supporting Dr Rob Kennedy with quality assurance. He’s looking forward to meeting customers when they visit the maltings and learning the new methods of analysis that are currently being introduced into the laboratory routine as new products are being introduced.

In order to assist product traceability, Warminster Maltings have installed the latest ink-jet printing technology in their bagging line.

Product ID, order number and bagging date is printed on the reverse of each sack. The tradition of a sewn-in coloured ID label will continue to ease product identification.

This new system will assist customers with their HACCP auditing and on request Warminster Maltings are sending out Product Safety Packs to customers that are acquiring their SIBA FSQ certificate or Salsa.
