We produce quality ingredients to help create products consumers love

Our Commitment to Quality

The favourable climate and agricultural conditions of New Zealand are just the beginning. From the ground up, there are many links in our quality chain that contribute to our reputation for exceptional food safety, superiority and reliability.

Our relationship with our farmer suppliers is an integral part of the process of being able to provide premium dairy products to the world.

Quality Dairy Ingredients

At Open Country we take pride in producing premium dairy ingredients from high quality New Zealand milk. Our dairy ingredients are of exceptional quality, in an industry that already has a global reputation for excellence. New Zealand ranks first in the world for food safety and food safety net programmes*.

All Open Country production plants have achieved the highest level of approval from the New Zealand Government’s Ministry for Primary Industries. Final products are tested by independent ISO 17025 laboratory, and we are accountable to the New Zealand Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) through our Risk Management Programme and Plan, plus our HACCP plan.
