Quality & Sustainability

The best from nature

The best ingredients come directly from nature we believe, and we want to produce our products in the best sustainable way possible. The Le Duc brand products are therefore pre deep-fried with sunflower oil, are GMO free and Halal suitable. Quality of our products is our main priority, we are certified within BRS and IFS standards.

Ingredients

Le Duc prepares its brand products with sunflower oil. This oil is a vegetable oil, extracted from the sunflower(Helianthus annuus) seeds. It is a clear, golden yellow oil with a smooth taste. After straining the seeds the remaining flour is used as cattle feed. Frying oil from sunflowers contains mostly unsaturated fat and is therefore healthier than other frying oil. Le Duc knows how the harvests of natural ingredients like onion, (sweet) potatoes , vegetables like broccoli, corn and wheat. Of course all our products are vegetarian and where possible also vegan.

Our plant

The modern facility in Stellendam uses the newest energy efficient techniques for limiting CO² emission. All waste streams are separately collected, resulting in an ecological advantage. The facility is sharply managed to produce in an efficient manner. On top of this, food waste is collected and used as cattle feed locally.

Social awareness

Being a family owned business, Le Duc supports various national and international social projects. Amongst others, the revenues of separating the waste are used for these purposes. Within the production process, the use of sales and unhealthy fats is limited to the maximum.

CSR report

Le Duc is proud to present its very first CSR report. This report represents our first challenging step toward getting serious about sustainability. Mapping the impact of our activities on people and the climate allows us not only to respond even better to our customers’ questions, but
also to formulate our in-house sustainability policy that is a logical part of our business strategy. We are aiming for measurable goals and concrete actions as our most important tools.
