Successful recertification according to EU organic and halal standards: focus on quality and variety

In 2024, Backshop was once again able to achieve recertification without deviations as part of the annual organic audit in accordance with the strict EU standards. At the same time, our halal certification was successfully renewed by the World Halal Union. These achievements once again emphasise our commitment to quality, sustainability and the diverse requirements of our business partners in the food service sector.

Organic audit: sustainability confirmed

Recertification in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2018/848 confirms that the ingredients in our organic products fulfil the strict requirements for organic farming. We also guarantee that our carefully selected producers work to the same high standards in order to continuously adapt our organic range to the growing needs of the market with their help. Mandy Baruth, Head of Quality Management at Backshop, explains:
‘The annual organic audit is an important opportunity for us to reflect the changing demands of our customers. By continuously reviewing and expanding our organic range, we create valuable options for our business partners to meet current market requirements.’

Halal certification: Confidence for a differentiating market

In addition to organic recertification, our halal certification has also been confirmed. This means that we offer our customers a range that not only fulfils the highest quality standards, but also meets the diverse needs of consumers. This certification emphasises our international orientation and our commitment to responsible and inclusive product development that meets the needs of dynamically developing markets. The inspection and certification was carried out in full compliance with the internationally recognised guidelines OIC/SMIIC 1 and CAC/GL 24-1997, requirements and guidelines for halal foodstuffs developed by the Standards and Metrology Institute for Islamic Countries (SMIIC), an intergovernmental institution for Islamic cooperation.

Outlook: Responsibility for the future

With the successful recertifications, we see ourselves strengthened to continue making a contribution to the sustainable transformation of out-of-home catering. Our certified products not only offer the highest quality, but also a conscious choice for our partners in bulk consumption and food service. Together, we are shaping a future based on responsibility, trust and sustainable values.
We look forward to living and developing these values together with you in the years to come.
