One requirement that VerDi’s growers must meet is that they are EurepGap-certified. After the fruit and vegetables have been harvested, quality is guaranteed during each phase of production and delivery. Even the mode of transport for each product is chosen meticulously. In fact, everything is carefully taken into account, such as the temperature, the level of humidity and the discharge of ethylene. VerDi’s direct import method means that the links in the chain from the soil in faraway countries to the dining table in your home are kept to the absolute minimum. This quality guarantee is possible thanks to the quality control that is performed at different moments in the production chain. To promote this, VerDi cooperates closely with globally operating survey bureaus. Of course, in Barendrecht VerDi also has its own quality controllers, who work in line with the most up-to-date norms of the HACCP and BRC quality control systems.

Food safety
Key concepts at VerDi include tracking & tracing as part of quality management, food safety and product responsibility. Besides working in line with the norms of the various quality control systems, VerDi also works together with TNO in the area of food safety. TNO performs residue and pesticide tests on VerDi’s products.
