Why regular self-checks are so important?

Anyone producing and marketing foodstuffs bears a huge responsibility, also in the legal sense. Proof of regular self-checks may therefore be of pivotal importance in the event of a claim for damages. This includes traceability of the flow of goods on the one hand, and random analytical sampling on the other. These procedures provide assurance of the quality of the raw material, processes and end products. We can gladly advise you on this matter.
