In order to obtain the perfect quality for which Flandria products are now known, each part of the chain must bear its own responsibility. Growers De landbouwers die hun product onder Flandria willen laten verkopen, moeten een welbepaald lastenboek met voorwaarden volgen. De gestelde eisen gaan onder meer over teelttechnieken, hygiëne en gewasbeschermingsmiddelen. Daarnaast beschrijft het lastenboek ook de manier van sorteren, de kwaliteit die moet gehaald worden en de aanduidingen op de verpakking. Dankzij deze informatie over de dag van de oogst, de telersnummer enz. is de oorsprong van het product 100% traceerbaar. Producentenorganisatie De telersvereniging ziet er op toe dat de teler het lastenboek voor zijn product stipt volgt. Dit gebeurt door dagelijkse controles op kwaliteit en sortering. Daarnaast vinden er ook bedrijfscontroles plaats, die dieper ingaan op de productievoorwaarden. CKCert The product checks are not only carried out internally (by employees of the producer organization or LAVA), but also externally. The research bureau CKCert checks the producer organizations on its method of inspection and on the product that arrives. In addition, a number of company visits to the growers take place on a random basis. Certagro is recognized as an independent body for these umbrella inspections. © 2020 LAVA cvba - Design by zinzara Privacy and Cookie Statement Home About LAVA Activities News Contact LAVA cvba Tiensevest 136 3000 Leuven Phone +32 (0)15 50 42 50 info@lava.be
