The Names Behind The LemmeChew Brand
Fueling Passion for Food
Katlego Suze, a woman of resilience and determination, is the driving force behind our brand. She’s a testament to the fact that if it doesn’t burn you twice, it might not be as nice or live up to our brand. Katlego studied Hospitality Management post-matric and honed her culinary skills with an introduction to cooking. But she didn’t stop there; she ventured into the corporate finance world and spent eight years mastering the ins and outs of the business.

Today, their distribution partners include renowned names such as Checkers, Checkers Hyper, Shoprite, Spar, and Meat World.

Upholding International Safety Standards
To ensure your safety, our production kitchen and factory are committed to adhering to the highest health and safety regulations. We strictly follow the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) standards[^1^], an internationally recognized system designed to reduce the risk of safety hazards in food production.
Rigorous Quality Checks
From the moment we source our raw ingredients to the point when the final product is packaged, every step of our production process is under careful scrutiny. Regular inspections and audits are conducted to ensure that we consistently meet—and often exceed—all prescribed safety and hygiene standards.
Trained Staff and Sanitized Equipment
Our staff undergoes rigorous training to ensure they maintain a clean and safe working environment. This includes regular hand washing, wearing appropriate protective clothing, and using sanitized equipment. These steps are critical in ensuring that our spices reach you in the best possible condition.
Continuous Improvement in Safety Protocols
At LemmeChew, we believe that safety is not a static goal, but a dynamic process of continuous improvement. To this end, we continually invest in technology and training to further enhance our safety protocols. Our goal is to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to safety standards in the food industry.
Your Safety Comes First
Your safety is our utmost priority. We are committed to delivering products that you can use with complete peace of mind. Every spice that leaves our production line carries with it our promise of quality, flavour, and most importantly, safety.
