REACH stands for the Registration, Evaluation and Authorization of Chemicals. REACH regulates the manufacture, import and handling of all chemicals and their products in the European Community, unless other rules and regulations have priority, such as biocides or pesticides. Of course, the products supplied by HOC are all registered accordingly by the manufacturers.

WHAT DOES THE QS CERTIFICATION SCHEME STAND FOR? The QS certification scheme stands for certified quality assurance of fresh food - from the farmer to the shop counter! Be it meat, sausages or fruit, vegetables and potatoes - food holding the QS certification mark have a precisely documented and controlled CV. The QS food inspection system covers all stages of the food chain. QS has strict requirements for all participating companies from Germany and abroad, such as traceability or hygiene. Independent auditors regularly check whether the requirements are met. We as HOC are active in the feed sector. Manufacturers of animal feed may only use approved raw materials. They have to continuously check hygiene and avoid any contamination. The goods must be checked regularly for residues of pollutants. In addition, the feed must be stored properly. Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (hence the abbreviation HACCP), is a quality tool designed for food production and handling. The concept is designed to prevent food-related hazards that can lead to illness or injury to consumers. Within the framework of our QS certification, we as HOC have completed the corresponding HACCP certification.
