INDOFOOD AGRI RESOURCES LTD
SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2014
NUTRITIONAL VALUE OF INDOAGRI’S PALM OIL PRODUCTS
IndoAgri’s table margarines are 100% fortified with eight
vitamins. Vitamins A and D are mandated by the Indonesian
National Standard SNI No. 01–3541–2002. We have added
vitamins E, B1, B2, B3, B9 and B12 into the margarines as
diet supplements for our Indonesian consumers. This comes
from our understanding that many of our consumers are
consuming processed foods made from flour and rice as
staple food. These starchy foods have low level of B vitamins.
By adding the extra vitamins in IndoAgri’s margarines, we are
able to increase the amount of essential nutrients in the diet
of our consumers, particularly the children, for healthy growth
and development.
IndoAgri’s cooking oils that are exported to the Philippines are
enriched with vitamin A, in accordance with the Philippines’
Department of Health Regulation RA 8976. By 2015, all
our consumer cooking oils for the domestic market will be
fortified with vitamin A, as required by the Indonesian National
Standard SNI 7709–2012. As of 2014, 1.5% of our consumer
cooking oils are fortified with vitamin A.

Quality and Nutrition
All raw materials, ingredients and compounds acquired from
our suppliers can be traced directly to their sources to ensure
food safety. Consumers are further assured of our end products
by the batch numbers found on all product packaging.
Our Quality Assurance team regularly assesses our quality
control system and processes, as well as those of the
suppliers to ensure uncompromising food safety performance,
particularly in the selection of ingredients, production,
packaging, storage and delivery of the products.
Food safety audits are conducted regularly (for the top five
raw materials, packaging, and ingredients suppliers) and
cover sanitation, pest control, facility conditions, operational
procedures, good manufacturing practices, packaging,
production monitoring, food security, and occupational health
and safety. In 2014, we audited 46 suppliers who are supplying
80% of the total volume of purchases. All of them met the
required food safety standards.
In 2014, the Tanjung Priok refinery, which covers about 29%
of IndoAgri’s total refining capacity, successfully completed
the Food Safety Management Standard (FSMS) audit for FSSC
22000:2010. The FSMS is based on the Hazard Analysis
Critical Control Points guidelines, which adopts a preventative
management approach to remove hazards from production
processes that may cause the finished food products to be
unsafe.
The packaging for our food products is made from approved
food
-
grade materials. All finished food products are required
to be tested in batches according to the Indonesian National
Standards

. In 2014, all our finished food products passed the
food testing.
NATURAL BENEFITS OF PALM OIL
Palm oil contains fat and carotenoid, a rich source of vitamins
A and E that are essential for healthy growth and wellbeing of
the human body.
Vitamin A maintains the immune system and eyesight, and is
required for gene transcription, embryonic development and
healthy skin. Vitamin E is a fat
-
soluble antioxidant that is able
to remove free radicals from our body, and regulate enzymes
essential for gene expression and a healthy nervous system.
Palm oil has the highest amount of vitamin E among all the
vegetable oils.
Fat is one of the three basic macronutrients that our bodies
need for healthy growth and supple skin. It is a rich source
of energy and essential fatty acids for our bodies. Palm oil
is composed mainly of triglycerides of fatty acid in both
saturated and unsaturated forms, and is free of cholesterol
and trans fat.
