Heladiv awarded ISO 22000 accreditation

Heladiv, Sri Lanka's innovative tea beverage brand has consistently broken the norms to market a traditional beverage in a non-traditional manner within the context of a modern world.

Heladiv, the brand owned by the HVA Group, pioneered the concept of Tetra packed Ice Tea to Sri Lanka in 2001 and more recently introduced Ice Tea in PET packaging. With an advanced in-house R&D and quality control laboratory, HVA is currently exploring the commercial viability of tea-based beauty applications for males and females.

Adding to its many previous accolades, Heladiv was awarded the prestigious ISO 22000 accreditation by Bureau Veritas, Geneva at a ceremony at its head office recently.

Following in close succession to its receipt of the Soorya Sinha Awards from the Mawbima Lanka Padanama, Heladiv is poised to intensify its international and domestic marketing efforts.

ISO 22000-2005/HACCP, the latest international standard on food safety management systems, ensures high food and beverage hygiene standards. Gradually billed to develop into the norm for the hospitality and Food and Beverage industries, compliance to the standard will eventually be a mandatory requirement for all food-handling operations globally.
