Technical Membership Upgrade (small additional fee)

Making great ice cream may seem straight forward but new product development or changes in formulation, process or even equipment can lead to problems. It is then that the Technical Membership upgrade comes in to its own as it provides access to the ICA’s Technical Officer to work with you to solve your particular ice cream problem.

We are also able to offer practical help to help prepare for or react to EHO or customer audits and ensure compliance with all relevant legislation and best practice.
