Company - Schnitzer.eu - smart nutrition

The crossed through ear of corn is the internationally recognized symbol for glutenfree food.

This symbol is a quality guarantee. All producers which use this must comply with high production standards in order to ensure the safety of this licensed product. In Germany this is controlled by the german celiac disease company (DZG).

Before a license contract with the DZG can be completed a current gluten-analysis of the affected products is required to ensure they are gluten-free. For exporting producers there has been an opportunity of getting a Europe-wide valid license contract with the DZG since 2012.

All products of the Schnitzer glutenfree assortment are licensed by the DZG and marked with the crossed-out ear.

To use the organic label in the EU, the company and its products are controlled in a special way. The compliance of legal standards and special official instructions is necessary to use the organic label.

A documentation obligation plus regular extraction and examination of samples guarantees the observance of the criteria. The obligation of the regulations for all organic products is controlled by the responsible inspection body. If an additional association label is appropriated the supervision is made by the responsible -association. Schnitzer is certified by lacon according to EU-organic regulations.
