The KPM Baker's Quality Assurance Handbook: Edition 2

The Keys for Mastering Baking Process Control.

When we released the first edition of this Quality Assurance Handbook in 2025, the milling and baking industry was entering a new era, facing significant and growing challenges. These challenges have become more difficult as time has passed, due to a variety of pressures:

• Master bakers are leaving the business in sizable numbers, taking their institutional knowledge and expertise with them.
• Rising ingredient prices, tariffs, and regional conflicts have made the price of doing business exponentially higher.
• Production innovations driven by artificial intelligence have prompted many of the world’s top baking brands to adapt their methods quickly to remain competitive.

At KPM, our team of experts has been working closely with bakers and millers worldwide to address these challenges with a “measure first” approach to controlling quality and food safety. This nearly 200-page handbook, the most comprehensive quality-control resource we have ever produced, is the result of those collaborations. We created it to share what’s worked so that more bakers and millers around the world can benefit.
