QUALITY AND FOOD SAFETY POLICY
The objective of GUMMY WORLDS, which embraces quality and hygiene as a lifestyle, is to associate its brands with the concepts of “quality” and “trust.” In line with this objective:
- Within the scope of quality and food safety, we aim to produce chewable food supplements that comply with legal and customer requirements as well as national and international standards. As a prominent organization in both the domestic and international markets, our goal is to meet the expectations of our business partners fully, consistently, and on time, in accordance with the specified requirements and the principles of the food safety management system.
- Our products are developed and manufactured in full compliance with the Turkish Food Codex, European Union regulations, and, when applicable, the local legal regulations of the countries where the products are marketed. We ensure that all processes meet our partners’ food safety expectations with maximum efficiency and minimum cost.
- We are committed to identifying, managing, and preventing potential food safety hazards at every stage — from product preparation to consumption. We actively monitor and control threats to food authenticity and ensure continuous and dynamic oversight.
- Based on the principle that “Quality and Food Safety is Everyone’s Responsibility,” we strive to sustain ongoing improvement and development across all units of our organization while minimizing risks arising from food safety violations and compromising hazards.
- Through a principled, modern management approach that values employee satisfaction, we aim to cultivate personnel at all levels who are problem-solvers and take ownership of their roles. We provide continuous training to raise awareness of quality and food safety and assign planned duties, authorities, and responsibilities accordingly. We believe quality can only be sustained by employees who take pride in their company and enjoy their work — thus, we prioritize maximizing employee satisfaction.
This policy is communicated to and accessible by all relevant parties engaged with GUMMY WORLDS.
HALAL POLICY (For Products Certified with Halal Certification)
As a leading organization in the production of chewable food supplements, both in Türkiye and abroad, GUMMY WORLDS is committed to fulfilling customer requirements consistently, on time, in the specified manner, and in full compliance with the requirements of the Halal Management System.
Our products are designed, developed, and manufactured with high efficiency and at minimum cost, in accordance with the Turkish Food Codex, European Union legislation, the relevant local regulations of the countries where the products are marketed when necessary, Islamic jurisprudence (Fiqh), and the halal food safety requirements of our customers.
We are dedicated to identifying, preventing, and effectively managing any potential halal food safety risks throughout the entire process — from product preparation to consumption. We ensure dynamic control and continuous monitoring of these risks.
Across all departments of our organization, we aim to sustain continuous improvement and development while minimizing risks and compromising elements that conflict with halal food safety.
With a principled and contemporary management approach that prioritizes employee satisfaction, we focus on training personnel at all levels who are proactive in problem-solving and take full ownership of their responsibilities. We conduct regular training programs to raise awareness of quality and halal food safety, and we assign clearly defined duties, authorities, and responsibilities.
We firmly believe that these standards can only be upheld by employees who are passionate about their company and take pride in their work — therefore, we strive to ensure the highest level of employee satisfaction.
This policy is declared and made accessible to all relevant parties interacting with GUMMY WORLDS.
ALLERGEN POLICY
Food allergens play a critical role in food safety. In this context, GUMMY WORLDS has established an Allergen Management System in accordance with GFSI-approved standards, as well as the allergens listed in the Turkish Food Codex and European Union Regulations. The following are the core practices we implement within this framework:
- Relevant allergenic raw materials are classified under distinct codes, properly labeled, and stored separately.
- Allergen information is clearly indicated on final product labels and specifications.
- While handling allergenic raw materials, only equipment specifically designated for those allergens — identified by a color-coding system — is used.
- After producing allergenic products, production lines are subjected to rigorous checks to ensure the effective removal of any allergen residues.
- Periodically, both internal and external laboratories perform cleaning verification and final product residue analyses at designated control points to validate cleaning efficiency.
This policy reflects our commitment to ensuring food safety through robust allergen management practices.
PROCUREMENT POLICY
Our procurement processes are carried out through approved suppliers who are reliable, customer satisfaction-oriented, and committed to occupational health and safety, environmental awareness, quality, food safety, and social responsibility.
Through effective market research, goods and services are procured at the desired quality, quantity, and time, under the most favorable conditions.
We aim to establish long-term relationships with our suppliers based on mutual trust, effective communication, and a spirit of partnership, adhering to the principle of mutual benefit.
All procurement activities are conducted in alignment with the principles of our stakeholders, and in accordance with our company’s policies and procedures.

To achieve this, our production priorities are defined in the following order:

Working conditions and organizational culture are structured to align with these priorities.

In addition to short-term solutions, our production activities are guided by long-term strategies that prioritize sustainability.
Through continuous training, employees are supported in improving their knowledge of machinery and processes, fostering a culture of collaboration and creating a flexible workforce structure.
