October 20, 2025

Better Grow General Trading LLC, a leading name in the foodstuff trading sector based in Dubai, UAE, has recently achieved a significant milestone with the successful certification of its food safety management system against ISO 22000 and HACCP by SGS. This accomplishment reaffirms the company’s steadfast commitment to food safety, operational excellence, and regulatory compliance.

About Better Grow General Trading LLC

With a decade-long legacy, Better Grow has built a solid reputation for quality and reliability in the dry food trading industry. Originally established as Nazeem Ahmed Trading LLC in Dubai’s vibrant Al Ras Wholesale Market—one of the largest in the Middle East—the company has steadily expanded its reach and capabilities.

Today, Better Grow is recognized as one of the largest importers, processors, wholesalers, and distributors of nuts, roasted & flavored nuts, dried fruits, and spices in the UAE, trusted by customers for our consistent quality and dependable service.

Certification Scope

HACCP Certification covers Food Category F, including training, retail, and e-commerce operations, demonstrating Better Grow’s comprehensive approach to managing food safety across various distribution and service channels.

ISO 22000 Certification applies to the trading of dry, ambient, and cool food products, ensuring food safety is embedded at every stage of the supply chain.

Why ISO 22000 and HACCP Matter

ISO 22000 is an internationally recognized standard for food safety management systems. It integrates core principles of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and HACCP, covering every stage of the food chain, from sourcing and handling to storage and delivery.

HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) is a globally endorsed framework for identifying and managing food safety risks. As part of the CODEX General Principles of Food Hygiene, it is essential for businesses involved in food preparation, processing, and trade.

Key Benefits for Better Grow

  • Risk Mitigation: Implementation of ISO 22000 and HACCP enables early detection and control of potential hazards.
  • Market Trust: Certification signals to customers and partners that food safety is a top priority.
  • Operational Excellence: Enhances internal processes through structured documentation and continuous monitoring.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Assures adherence to local and international food safety regulations, essential for retail and cross-border trade. 
SGS Audit was a true learning experience. It helped us identify critical areas of improvement, from employee training to documentation practices.
