RIK stands for Internal Quality Control Regulations. It involves recording the quality registrations of fruits and vegetables for which there are statutory European quality standards. Smeding has good control results. We also have a quality care system for fruits and vegetables. This system complies with the KCB quality code. During the annual audit, this system is checked.

This certificate is designed for packaging stations and traders in the chain, with the aim of ensuring seamless traceability from the grower to the consumer through a single set of certificates. This creates more transparency. <\/p>

For all links in the chain, it applies that they purchase products from companies certified according to Global GAP standards. The GGN number of both growers and certified companies is important for demonstrating the origin. <\/p>
