Auditing
Clear assessment, visible improvement
Region
An audit is not a goal in itself, but an opportunity to improve. Whether it concerns your own processes, your suppliers, hygiene, or food safety, our auditors provide insight and create momentum.
We combine objectivity with practical expertise, so you not only know where you stand, but also where you can improve. Independent, professional, and always tailored to your situation.
Types of audits
We drive improvement through internal quality checks, international supplier audits, and everything in between. Complete coverage, fully aligned with your organisation.
Supplier audits
We conduct supplier audits on behalf of your organisation, retail client, or supply chain partner. You gain independent insight into supplier performance in areas such as food safety, hygiene, documentation, processes, and control.
Our auditors clearly identify improvement points and provide well-founded recommendations. This makes your supply chain more transparent, reliable, and audit-ready.
Internal audits
Whether you work with GFSI standards such as BRCGS, IFS, or FSSC 22000, or follow your own internal guidelines, we conduct internal audits or support your team.
Our audits are practical, structured, and aligned with your organisation. Including guidance on non-conformities, root cause analysis, and action planning.
HACCP-audits
With a HACCP audit, we assess both the structure and practical application of your HACCP plan. From hazard analysis to validation, and from decision-making to the control of CCPs, we verify whether your system is effective in practice.
This helps you prepare for inspections and avoid surprises during certifications or client visits.
Hygiene & inspection audits
We assess order, cleanliness, sanitation, personal hygiene, and all elements of your prerequisite programme. Suitable for production sites, retail operations, distribution centres, and warehouse audits.
Our audit results are visual, measurable, and easy to discuss. Ideal as a baseline assessment or as a periodic control tool.

What can you say, and how?
Consumers make purchasing decisions based on what they see and read. That is why commercial texts and visuals on packaging are just as sensitive as ingredient information. They must be accurate, substantiated, and legally compliant, without misleading or exaggerating. Especially for food products, supplements, and functional products, the line between a claim and a suggestion is becoming increasingly strict. That is exactly why proper validation is essential.

Food Labelling
Packaging is your first point of contact with the consumer and therefore also the first checkpoint for regulators. Every statement on a label must be accurate, clear, and compliant with national and international legislation. From ingredient lists to allergens, from origin to health claims, mistakes are easily made, but the consequences can be significant, ranging from recalls to reputational damage. Proper labelling therefore requires more than knowledge. It requires structure, validation, and forward thinking.

From rules to direction
Laws and regulations define the rules of the game for food safety, labelling, and market access. They are not only there to be followed, but to safeguard what truly matters: trust, integrity, and safety. In a constantly evolving industry, compliance is the minimum requirement. Organisations that understand legislation, follow it, and stay ahead of it, build reputation, agility, and credibility.

Language as the key to market access
A label does not only communicate what is in a product, it does so in the language of the consumer. Without accurate translation, a product simply cannot enter the market. Legislation requires labels to be clear and understandable in the country where the product is sold. Translation is therefore not just a practical step, but the key to trust, safety, and marketability.

Proof that products comply
Before a product reaches the shelf, it must demonstrably meet strict quality requirements. Retailers, regulators, and consumers all seek assurance: is this product safe, reliable, and compliant with legislation? A marketability report provides that proof. It combines analyses of product characteristics with label verification and regulatory compliance. This not only enables market access, but also builds trust in both brand and product.

Control over data, confidence across the chain
Product information is the backbone of the food industry. From ingredients and allergens to packaging details, retailers, regulators, and consumers expect accurate and up-to-date data. A well-structured specification management system prevents errors, accelerates processes, and strengthens trust across the entire supply chain. For both producers and retailers, it is the key to transparency and continuity.

Logos that build trust
Logos on packaging are more than visual elements. They carry meaning. They build trust with consumers, guide choices in the supermarket, and demonstrate compliance with standards and regulations. But when a logo is used incorrectly, the effect can be the opposite. It can lead to confusion, doubt, or even legal consequences. Correct labelling is therefore not only about compliance. It directly impacts brand value and credibility.

Proof that matters
A claim on packaging is powerful. It influences choices, builds trust, and helps products stand out. Whether it concerns nutritional values, health benefits, or sustainability, both consumers and regulators take a critical look. But with that power comes responsibility. Incorrect or unauthorised claims can lead to sanctions, reputational damage, and loss of credibility. Claims are therefore not just a legal requirement. They are a strategic tool.

From creation to compliance
Packaging is often the first thing a consumer sees. It shapes trust, appeal, and marketability. But beyond design and brand storytelling, the content of commercial texts and visuals must also be accurate. Artwork that does not comply with regulations can lead to fines, product recalls, or even blocked market access. Strong artwork is therefore not only creative. It must also be legally sound.

Transparency down to ingredient level
Additives play an essential role in many food products. They extend shelf life, enhance taste, and ensure the right texture. At the same time, every additive used is subject to strict legislation. Consumers expect clarity, and regulators demand compliance. The use of additives is therefore not just a technological choice. It is also about trust and compliance.

Measuring what matters, where it matters
Control starts with insight. And insight starts with measurement. A well designed sampling plan forms the foundation for demonstrable food safety and product quality. Whether it concerns raw materials, finished products, or environmental hygiene, without structured sampling, every laboratory result remains a snapshot without context. The right sample, at the right moment, for the right reason. That is what a sampling plan is about.
