Purchasing policy and supplier requirements

          Suppliers manage their own information on Nutritics and they can choose
          to share this with specific customers or the general Nutritics user base.
          Information is added via a secure login to the Nutritics cloud based system.

          Suppliers must either contact Nutritics directly (suppliers@nutritics.com) to
          add their products to the system, or they will be contacted by Nutritics if a
          customer wishes to add their information.
          Nutritics do not engage in any promotion of specific supplier foods and all
          information is made available on an equal basis to each Nutritics user.
          There is an administration charge of €100 per supplier p/a to maintain the
          portal. The portal is managed on a not-for-profit basis to assist suppliers
          with providing their information to the industry.

         Distribution providers


          Nutritics works with both large and small food distributors and suppliers
          across the island of Ireland. A full list of current suppliers is available to all
          Nutritics users within the software.

          Nutritics also works with international suppliers and distributors supplying
          products into Ireland and Irish suppliers and distributors providing their
          products internationally.

         Advice to new suppliers

          Please get in touch with the Nutritics team with any comments or
          questions about adding your product to the software.
          The team at Nutritics are available to help and have vast experience in
          providing support and guidance to onboard products in compliance with
          food law.  Nutritics is a strong supporter of the Irish food industry and aims
          to connect stakeholders to enable better food choices.


         Other information

          Internationally, there has been a significant regulatory shift towards food
          transparency and environmental impact reporting.

          This includes the introduction of CRSD Sustanability Reporting Regulations
          which will apply to all companies over the coming years.
