CERTIFICATION
Measurable quality
The high standards we set for the quality and safety of our food are confirmed on a regular basis by independent testing institutes.
In addition to International Featured Standard Food (IFS-Food) approval, our company is also certified to EU-Öko VO (834/2007 and 889/2008) and DIN EN ISO 50001. Our range also includes organic products, MSC- and ASC-certified fish products and KAT-labelled egg products.
IFS Food Standard (6.1)
Contains what it says on the packaging
The IFS Food Standard audits food manufacturers with regard to food safety and the quality of processes and products.
An extensive test catalogue and a programme of regular auditing ensures that the desired quality standards are met.
Among other things, the IFS Food Standard examines manufacturing processes, quality and food safety management systems and ‘food defence’ (i.e. protection against terrorist acts), as well as resource management and corporate responsibility.
An IFS Food-approved product is traceable back to its origins. This transparency creates trust, and as an IFS Food 6.1-certified company, we are happy to comply.
ORGANIC
More than just healthy food
Our organic food comes from ecologically controlled cultivation.
The EU Organic Regulation requires organic farming to do without chemically synthesised plant protection products, mineral nitrogen fertilisers and genetic engineering. Every organic operator must comply with these requirements, and compliance is checked at least once a year.
Thanks to our transparent production chain, every item can be traced back to its source. At least once a year, all of our operations are checked for compliance with the organic regulations currently in force.
Because we are certified in accordance with EC Organic Regulation No. 834/2007 and No. 889/2008 (Inspection body: DE-ÖKO-007), we can supply you with organic products of your choice. Just contact us!
MSC certification
Sustainable fishing – because we are all in the same boat
The sustainable management of our oceans is one of the most important duties of our time. The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) is an international, independent and not-for-profit organisation dedicated to the prevention of overfishing the oceans. The MSC has developed standards that allow fisheries around the globe to be checked and evaluated for sustainability.
The standards require, among other things, fishing methods that are gentle on the seabed, no fishing of overfished stocks, minimising bycatch and aligning fisheries with sustainable management.
Consumers can easily identify products that meet these standards by looking for the blue MSC seal on the product packaging.
The V-Label
Clear communication
Many of the world’s most pressing problems have a common cause, namely the food that we consume. A varied plant-based diet can help to prevent many of the health issues that arise from our modern lifestyle.
The V-Label identifies recipes as vegan or vegetarian. It makes no statement about a product’s environmental impact.
KAT certification
(Kontrollierte alternative Tierhaltung – controlled alternative animal husbandry)
Where’s that from?
All KAT requirements are based on EU guidelines and regulations as well as marketing standards for eggs. They also take into account the provisions of German legislation on farm animal husbandry and other more general aspects of animal welfare.
However, the KAT criteria go beyond that.
The aim is cross-border compliance with the criteria defined by KAT. Key components are testing of the eggs themselves, as well as 100% traceability and certification of origin, from consumer to producer.
DLG
Award-winning quality
The Deutsche Landwirtschafts-Gesellschaft (German Agricultural Society) is one of the most important organisations concerned with the independent quality assessment of food.
Only foods that have been subject to careful selection of raw materials and to optimum processing and preparation receive a highly coveted DLG medallion.
We are proud to confirm that, in recent years, several of our food products have been given top awards for quality and flavour by the DLG.
