The support of compliance is essential for the competitiveness of food industrial SMEs

HACCP, TFMS, IFS, FSA, COFRAC, BRC, BSCI, ETI, Fairtrade, UTZ, RSPO, Rainforest Alliance… Just a few abbreviations that cover complex compliance systems that guarantee the quality of food production and the sustainability of the materials used and ethical sourcing.

Retailers and consumers are increasingly demanding that manufacturers comply with a wide variety of requirements, in addition to laws and regulations. For example, it is often not enough to use the widespread food quality assurance system, HACCP, because individual retail chains or importers may have their own set of requirements for producers. Thus, a supplier often has to meet dozens of criteria to distribute their products as widely as possible.
