This reduction is\u00a0huge,\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0gigantic. As a result, we have achieved a contamination rate that is much lower than the industry standard.

It helps to ensure products can be delivered on time and in the best condition. Everything is digitalized and automated, so each label will be customized and fit for purpose. Our temporary storage warehouse is fully automated and also quite unique.

Our front label is now a booklet, so users can peel back the labels to find their preferred language. The unique QR codes means each pack can be identified and traced. This allows us to automate our temporary storage system, and gives users access to product information such as the batch number, production date and location.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-920888717\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1432604424\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner text-center\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_449988359\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner dark\" >\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1020\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/fermentis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Algist-Brugeman-New-Plant-4-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"Algist-Bruggeman-Fermentis-Improved-Yeast Labelling\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fermentis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Algist-Brugeman-New-Plant-4-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/fermentis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Algist-Brugeman-New-Plant-4-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/fermentis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Algist-Brugeman-New-Plant-4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/fermentis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Algist-Brugeman-New-Plant-4-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/fermentis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Algist-Brugeman-New-Plant-4-2048x1366.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/fermentis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Algist-Brugeman-New-Plant-4-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1020px) 100vw, 1020px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_449988359 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-1432604424 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 0px 50px 0px 50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-863824911\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-891879477\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The updated packaging also has a new \u2018Easy To Open\u2019 label.
