Dmitry Reut CEO of the Company explains the reason for such a tough cleanliness policy:
Dmitry ReutCEO of the Company«KAMAKO mayonnaise is produced using a cold production technique which ensures maximum preservation of useful properties of all components and ingredients. It seems quite simple, but in fact it is complicated because there are no thermal processes ensuring microbiological safety. Therefore, high production standards are required to achieve the same results using the cold technique. And all our quality control and safety systems exist precisely to guarantee the product safety while applying this technique»
