Quality marks
De Schakel-affiliated growers each have an individual (certified) operating system. This means that we can attribute the various desired quality marks of the Food Safety Certificate standard to our products. From VVaK-NL / Vegaplan-BE / Q+S-DE for vegetable processing and the international Global-GAP for the fresh market to more sustainability quality marks, such as Milieukeur and Veldleeuwerik, as well as the Organic segment. Within the Organic segment, our growers are associated with the European standard for organic produce and production, and with private links such as Demeter, Bioland and Naturland. These product quality marks are recorded in quality lines within the De Schakel internal operations process, right up to delivery so that they can be traced back to the individual crop.
