Quality and documentation your QA team can rely on

Retail quality teams need evidence before a product is listed. Every offer comes with a documentation pack for the product and the site that produces it.

Documentation with every offer

Documents are collected before the offer is made, so your quality team can review them alongside the price and the samples.

  • Certificates of the producing siteFor example IFS, BRCGS, ISO 22000, GMP or ISO 22716, depending on the category.
  • Certificate of analysisIssued per production batch.
  • Label and claims reviewChecked for each destination market and language.
  • Safety and conformity documentsSafety data sheets and declarations of conformity where the category requires them.
  • Batch traceabilityFrom production to delivery at your distribution centre.

How we qualify a product

Before a product is offered to a retail customer, it goes through four checks.

  1. Certificate review

    We check the producing site's certificates and recent audit reports for the category.

  2. Sample testing

    Samples are checked against the agreed specification, with laboratory analysis where the category requires it.

  3. Written specification

    The approved specification becomes the reference for every production run.

  4. Batch control

    Each batch is checked before shipment and delivered with its certificate of analysis.

EU rules by category

Each category follows its own EU framework. Labels, claims and documents are checked against it for every destination market.
