AFQ

FoodOxys has registered a European certification mark, the Activity FoodOxys Quality (AFQ), in the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). AFQ introduces a new, innovative system for rating and classifying the quality of agricultural products. AFQ evaluates and compares a wide range of agri-food products, classified on the basis of the food and beverage code of the European Union and of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Upon completion of the laboratory analysis, a distinct score, ranging from 8 – 20, is cumulatively obtained. If the product achieves at least the minimum possible score (8), it can receive the AFQ certification mark, which can be placed on the product label in accordance with the Regulation of Use. The certification mark can be placed on the product label either by indicating the total score or by indicating the check from the certification scheme.

The objectivity of the controls on the producers and the distributors of the products is ensured by the strategic cooperation of FoodOxys with the independent certification organization Swiss Approval International, an internationally recognized Inspection and Certification Body, present in 19 countries in 3 continents. Within the framework of the international food certification activities, Swiss Approval International, has included the AFQ certification mark, owned by Foodoxys PC spin-off, in its specialized services. Swiss Approval Inspection and Certification Body performs the inspections and issues the Certificate of Conformity according to the AFQ standard. For more information, please click here.
