NEODA Celebrates 75 Years
On 13th October a team of Henry Colbeck Colleagues headed to London to attend the NEODA annual general meeting and then afterwards they celebrated the organisation’s 75th birthday at The Tallow Chandlers Hall.
Who are NEODA?
The National Edible Oil Distributors’ Association (NEODA) was established in 1947. Its members include edible oil and fats refiners, processors, distributors and waste oil collectors (who also sell fresh oil). Henry Colbeck is proud to be an active member of the association, especially because of the benefits it brings to you, our valued customers!
What Do They Do?
The association’s key objective is to raise standards across the entire edible oil packing and distributive trade. It provides an open forum for discussion for everyone working to protect and promote the production and sale of high-quality edible oils and fats sold within the UK.
What‘s the Benefit of Henry Colbeck being a Member?
NEODA’s central principle is adherence to the ‘Guarantee of Confidence’ scheme. This means that all edible oils and fats sold and distributed by members like Henry Colbeck, stick to a strict set of requirements concerning product contents, labelling and pack sizes. Only products that meet this stringent set of criteria can carry a ‘Guarantee of Confidence’ logo.
NEODA also carries out an ’Oil Monitoring Programme’; independently analysing packs of oils and fats from members and non-members to ensure Customers and Consumers aren’t misled as to the nature, quality or quantity of oils being sold. Non-conforming goods and companies are
brought to the attention of the Manufacturer and the Trading Standards Authorities so further action can be taken. So we hope that Henry Colbeck’s membership of NEODA gives you reassurance that when you buy your oils and fats from us you can do it with complete confidence!
Supporting the Fish & Chip Industry is at the heart of everything we do and it was both a surprise and an honour for Georgina Colbeck to receive an award for ‘Ongoing Support & Commitment to NEODA’.
