About Anchor Foods
The Anchor Foods story began in 1854 when an enterprising young mariner and merchant from the Shetland Isles, Gilbert Wood, took possession of an unpaid cargo.
Where others would have seen ruin he saw opportunity and, with great intiative, on-sold the groceries to recover debts.
Opting to leave his life on the high seas, Gilbert started his own grocery store and chose the sign of the Anchor as its symbol. From humble beginnings, the company prospered and quickly gained the reputation of being a first class supplier of quality grocery foods across Australia.
For well over 100 years the port city of Fremantle has been the home of Anchor Foods. The company continues to build on its fine traditions of integrity and reliability, bringing to you pure and trusted products.
Quality Compliance
Anchor Foods has recently been certified to the British Retail Consortium (BRC) quality standard (certificate registration number GB08/73864). A high level of focus and commitment to Food Safety and Quality is required to obtain and maintain the BRC certification. The BRC standard is considered to be the highest level of Food Safety and Quality Standard accreditation issued globally and is considered the optimal food standard accreditation in countries such as Europe, the UK and Asia. Few companies in Australia have managed to obtain the BRC level of certification and it demonstrates Anchor's continued commitment to Food Safety and Quality.
Anchor has been certified to HACCP Food Safety accreditation certificate registration FSAU02/330 since 2001 and has been the foundation that Anchor has based its Food Safety system on. Anchor continues to strive for new levels of Food Safety and Quality and will remain a key focus for the company.
