Decades ago, the Flavour and Fragrance Industry in South Africa formed an association to unite local Flavour & Fragrance companies across common non-competitive industry areas, freeing up individual organisations to grow their business. This group has grown to over 50 companies, all active participants in the Association. SAAFFI derives its strength, talent & industry influence through the close co-operation & diversity of its members. Flavour plays an important role in food and in life. Not only must food offer a balanced and nutritionally adequate diet, it must be palatable and diverse. These aspects are largely a function of flavour. Thus flavourings are an essential constituent of human food. Fragrances, together with the sense of smell, add an invisible colour to everyday life and special occasions. A world without fragrances would be comparable to a world without music. SAAFFI membership is open to organisations directly involved with Flavours and Fragrances, as well as allied products and services. MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS INCLUDE: Being kept up-to-date on changing local and international regulations. A unified industry approach to risk management. Being connected to relevent global organisations.
