High-Capacity Production and Machinery

Through CDO Foodsphere, Inc.'s advanced continuous cookers, we are able to produce tons of hotdogs
per line per hour. A host of other highly sophisticated machineries also produce heaps and loads of
canned meat and fish per month. Unsurprisingly, we also utilize a unique emulsification system which
processes food exceedingly faster and better.

High Quality Nutritious Food

Over and above technology, safety and nutrition are also given the highest priority during our food
production. A guarantee of not only faster manufacturing but also the best product quality must be met
at all times. In this light, we showcase one of the country's most extensive quality assurance system.
Product quality assessment goes through thorough inspecting processes and stringent lab tests and
procedures, making sure that we serve nothing but products of the premium quality.

Advanced Storage Plants and Warehouses

When it comes to food storage and preservation, we devote our capabilities on acquiring top notch
technology to ensure that the products that reach the grocery shelves are of the first-rate quality. Proof
of this is how our frozen products must go through an advanced blast freezing method and into special
cold warehouses to keep the products' temperature at an ideal level in order to preserve their integrity.

CDO Foodsphere Inc., a leading Filipino food corporation in the meat processing industry, is

meet the growing requirements of the Filipino consumers for high-quality and affordable meat products.

The state-of-the-art plant, over a nine-hectare property in Malvar, will not only play a significant
part in revitalizing the business and livelihood opportunities in Batangas but will also bolster the food
supply and ensure food security in the Philippines.

CDO-Foodsphere Inc. is opening a new plant that will set the bar higher for occupational safety,

Inside the production complex are adequate storage for both dry and frozen items to ensure
availability of good quality materials and maintain the cold chain, until the finished products reach the
consumer.
 With the structural requirements in place, the plant is also designed towards ISO certification of
the systems (ISO 9001 for Quality Management System and ISO 22000 for Food Safety Management
System) and other certifications/accreditation which have been already awarded to the plant in
Valenzuela such as Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), Triple A accreditation, and HACCP
certification.

This move is not solely intended to achieve global competitiveness but more so to fulfill the
company's commitment of satisfying and delighting the customers while safeguarding consumer safety
and product quality, according to CDO Foodsphere Inc.

How CDO-Foodsphere produces world-class products

Marites Escarcha, Foodsphere Vice President for Plant Operations, said the company has improved its
manufacturing system giving more emphasis on quality assurance rather than quality control where
the latter is a reactive approach dependent on routine inspection and testing.

Quality assurance is a proactive approach focusing on the manufacturing process to ensure quality of a
product even before production, Escarcha said.

She said it requires an established and documented quality management system, training of people, and
periodic assessment or audit, to ensure effectiveness, adequacy and relevance of the system in place.

The combined efforts of both government and private sector has effectively increased consumers
awareness and demand for food safety. Hence, as aligned with local regulatory and, both its local and
international customer requirements, CDO endeavoured to improved and consistently put these quality
standards into practice, to meet its commitment to every consumer to provide not just affordable, but
most of all, safe products.

Escarcha added that the company gives emphasis to compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices
(GMP) and implementation of the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP).

GMP provides minimum requirements for personnel, working environment, process, equipment and
facilities, among others, to ensure that products are consistently produced and controlled according to
quality standards. HACCP, on the other hand, is a systematic and scientific approach that identifies and
controls possible food hazards in each step of the process to ensure food safety. These, coupled with
established and implemented quality and food safety management systems, the company obtained
world-class certification from a highly recognized third-party certification body.

SGS Philippines, a leading certification company, awarded Foodsphere with two certificates for ISO
systems, the Quality Management System (ISO 9001:2008) and Food Safety Management System (ISO
22000:2005) which was further elevated to Food Safety System Certification (FSSC 22000), a certification
scheme compliant with ISO 22000:2005 and ISO/TS 22002-1 Pre-requisite Program on Food Safety.

These certificates attest to the companys world-class manufacturing standards and excellent food
safety system, said Escarcha.

Foodsphere has been included in the directory of FSSC certified companies worldwide, since 2013,
where almost 9,000 certified sites in 149 countries are listed.

As of February 2015, the Philippines has only 81 certified sites, where 74 are food manufacturing
companies and 7 are food packaging materials manufacturing establishments.

Of the 74 sites, only 3 meat processing plants are certified, which includes Foodsphere. Meanwhile, only
2 cheese manufacturing sites are certified, with Foodsphere as one of the two.

Foodsphere has also set in place its own internal standards that recognize best practices as early as
2003.
