Certifications for the food and animal feed sector – Advantages and requirements

When it comes to food, consumer confidence plays a decisive role. For all stages of the food chain, quality control and assurance is therefore a top priority. The food wholesale and retail sector and its participating partners and manufacturers have reacted to food scandals in the past with continuous improvement of their processes. The focus is on the entire supply chain, from the animal feed producers and food manufacturers to logistics and trading.

Evidence of a currently valid certificate is typically the basic requirement for being listed as a supplier for large-scale buyers. For producers, dealers and logistics providers, certification thus becomes a decisive factor for business and competition.

TÜV NORD CERT is one of the market leaders in the field of food certification under internationally recognised standards such as IFS and BRC Food, ISO 22000, FSSC 22000, HACCP and many more. These certificates verified defined quality requirements along the entire production and supply chain – and secure the competitive position of companies with national and international trading partners in a highly presentable manner.
