Analysis Read more
Our high quality standards are demonstrated in the field of analysis as well:
Pre-defined test schedules are tailored to the specific raw material.
Only when all defined criteria are met, products are released for production. In order to guarantee our high standards we are working together with external, accredited laboratories.
At first, analyses take place macroscopically, then sensorially, physically/chemically and finally microbiologically. Before distribution, every batch is once again controlled internally. Better safe than sorry.
