QS certification mark

The QS certification mark stands for a high level of safety for meat and sausage products, fruit, vegetables and potatoes. QS is the leading standard for food safety in Germany: 95% of all fresh pork and poultry, 85% of beef and 90% of fruit, vegetables and potatoes from Germany are QS certified. More than 25,000 branches of the food retail offer beef and pork, poultry, sausage and ham as well as a wide range of fruit and vegetables with the blue QS certification mark.\n\nBy displaying the QS certification mark on their products, the scheme participants show that they produce and market their products in accordance with the requirements of the QS scheme - from farm to shop.\n\nFor consumers, the blue QS certification mark has served as a symbol for almost 20 years as a clear signal for food with controlled production and marketing processes. It signals compliance with the QS requirements for the production and marketing of meat and sausage products and fruit, vegetables and potatoes as well as assured processes and product quality.
