Sunett®
(Acesulfame K) is manufactured in a closed production system which meets all legal
requirements for environmental protection and plant safety.
A modern computer-supported process routing system controls the production process. The
continuous in-process-control shall provide a constant high quality of the operation of the
manufacturing process, as well as a constant product quality.
Safety and quality-relevant control points are registered in a database and are frequently monitored.
The results of this monitoring are documented in writing and are available if needed. At Celanese
Food Ingredients, an HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) program has been
implemented to prevent mistakes and hazards and to achieve a predictable product quality.
Employees are checking the critical control points according to schedule.
All raw materials are obtained from authorized suppliers and are checked according to a testing plan.
The operations of the manufacturing process as well as the application of state-of-the-art technology
require qualified personnel. A training plan is drawn up every year for each employee. The
implementation of the plan is continuously checked.
Whereas the production itself is a closed system, the finished product encounters the environment in
the filling area for the first time. Consequently, the hygienic demands on employees, plant and
packaging are very high.
