Quality and Safety

Already for the third time we were certified in July this year after IFS (on higher level). Thus we ensure you quality and product security on highest standard.

No stagnancy

In order to hold and develop this high level further, we let our functioning HACCP concept analyze and examine in the context of a thesis (diploma) scientifically.

As respectable food manufacturer quality and product security stands for us always in the first place.

Cumarine

Unfortunately doesn't change anything in the view of the Federal Ministry for nutrition agriculture and consumer protection (BMELV) to evaluate the Cumarine content in food after the flavour regulation and use their limit values. It remains thus with the questionable 2 mg/kg Cumarine in finished products such as ginger bread or cinnamon stars. The adherence to these limit values is supervised at present strengthened by the food authorities. You can buy alternative cinnamon from us. But the taste of the final product change. If you want to compute the content of Cumarine of the final product by computer forecasts due to the use of cinnamon, then please note that other spices and herbs, as well as Nuts and Orangeade could contain Cumarine. Trip for this discussion was a doubtful evaluation of the Federal institute for risk evaluation (BfR) NR. 043/2006 of 16.06.2006, in which the content of Cumarine in cinnamon, was designated as health injurious. In a scientific article in the "Deutsche Lebensmittel-Rundschau" (103rd class, number 8, 2007, S. 378 f.) the statements of the BfR are clearly disproved. The essay culminates in the following statement: "it would be a scandal, if the suspicion applies that in reality market policy with the Cover of consumer protection is operated here." If you have further questions

regarding Cumarine, please do not hesitate to contact us.

New Harvests

The new harvests arrive gradually. Large problems we will have with goods like coriander, caraway, paprika and some herbs. That settles naturally in the prices of the raw materials.

Pepper

Our prognosis proved to be true that in the autumn the price could sink. Support carried out also the purge of the US dollar. We assume the present friendly price level will still be some time present. Quantities might be sufficiently present.

Maintenance circumstances

The purchase of high-quality and qualitatively perfect raw materials become ever more difficult. That is unanimous opinion of many buyers, not only in the spice range. For the future we prognosticate still another further aggravation of the situation: Nevertheless ever more agricultural surfaces for production are used by wheat and raps, in order to obtain lucrative prices for the raw materials for the production from fermentation gas and bio fuels to. A trend is to be determined away from the maintaining intensive herbs and to the lighter as well as more lucrative wheat and raps which can be cultivated. In our judgement a dire and wrong development to use food for the production of power where in other countries humans die of hunger.

In the End

We point out that still in August 2006 the General Equal Treatment Law (AGG) stepped into strength. This with unlimited payment of damages reinforced law presents to the employer many obligations: among other things the training of workers up to the institution of a complaints office.
