Well-trained employees for consistently high-quality transportation

When transporting liquid sugar products, numerous laws and standards must be observed in order to ensure food safety. In addition to the European Food Hygiene Regulation (EC) No. 852/2004, which regulates general hygiene requirements as well as the quality and cleaning of transport containers, these are primarily HACCP and IFS.

The Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points concept (HACCP) is an internationally recognized, preventive safety system that is mandatory for all food business operators and aims to preventively identify and avoid risks. The International Food Standard Logistics (IFS) was developed by the German Retail Federation together with the French FBDC. The quality guidelines set out therein form the basis for certification for the safe transportation of food.
