Why are quality inspections so important for fresh produce?
First of all, vegetables and fruits that are imported into the European Union (EU) must comply with the quality standards of the EU. To verify this, IFQS conducts fresh produce quality inspections. This provides you with a clear report on the quality of your goods upon arrival, maps out the influence of transportation on the quality, and allows you to accurately communicate the quality of the goods to your customers upon delivery. The quality of fresh produce can be assessed based on general standards, specific trade standards as laid down in EU legislation, and customer specifications.
How does IFQS inspect the quality of fresh produce?
IFQS inspects the quality of fresh produce by a combination of visual inspection and laboratory tests, two common methods used to assess the quality of fruits and vegetables. In addition, physical tests and checks on packaging are also part of our expertise.
