Hygiene inspections in your industry
Working food safely is not a choice but a requirement. Yet it is difficult to continuously check whether processes, working methods and registrations still meet the applicable standards. A hygiene inspection gives you objective insight into the current situation within your company.
This way, you know exactly where you stand and prevent risks for customers, employees and your reputation. We also perform hygiene inspections in your industry.

Our approach to hygiene inspections
Our experienced inspectors know exactly what to look for. They assess your working methods on the basis of laws and regulations and the applicable Hygiene Code. During the inspection they look at work routines, cleaning, storage and documentation.
Afterwards, you will receive a short and clear report without complicated terms. You will immediately see whether you meet the standard and what areas for improvement there are.
What will a hygiene inspection give you?
You will quickly get clarity about food safety and compliance with rules. This allows you to make targeted improvements and demonstrate that you take quality seriously.

Good & Green hygiene inspections
Do you want to go one step further and qualify for customized supervision by the Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA)? This is possible with our self-checking system Goed & Groen.
This self-checking system is accepted by the NVWA and consists of a clear and complete checklist with which we check and report on all requirements.
If you participate in the self-checking system, you show your employees and customers that you are distinctive in terms of quality and food safety. You can participate both as an individual company or as a fomule company if you meet the following requirements:
- Your company works entirely according to an approved hygiene code and does not have its own HACCP plan or supplement
- Your company does not have EC approval
- Your company supplies more than 50 percent directly to consumers
