Quality needs standards
The FARÜCHOC chocolate factory stands for quality products. To ensure this constantly, we rely on established processes and standards: experienced chocolate specialists, state-of-the-art technology, selected raw materials and packaging materials, regular quality checks, independent certifications (IFS, RSPO, organic (DE-ÖKO-013), kosher, Fairtrade, Sedex).
Our certifications illustrate responsible use of resources and contribute to reducing our ecological footprint. The certifications motivate us every day to work for a more sustainable future. Our activities are always independently audited and thus transparent to our stakeholders.
IFS International Food Standard
The IFS Food Standard is an internationally recognised standard. It is used to review products and their production processes to assess a food manufacturer's ability to produce safe, authentic and high quality products in accordance with legal requirements and customer specifications. The fulfilment of the criteria is checked annually by external, accredited and independent certification bodies. FARÜCHOC has been IFS certified since 2003 and exceeds the requirements.
Rainforest Alliance
The Rainforest Alliance certification programme includes social, economic and environmental components and serves to promote more sustainable agricultural production and responsible supply chains. The certification programme is committed to protecting and improving forests, climate, human rights and the livelihoods of producers..
Fairtrade
The aim of Fairtrade is to improve the standard of living of the people and families involved in production in the countries of origin. Fairtrade producers receive stable minimum prices for their products and thus a higher and more reliable income than in conventional trade. The Fairtrade label identifies sustainably grown and fairly traded products.
RSPO
The goal of the RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil) is a sustainable palm oil industry through the development and implementation of global standards for the production and procurement of certified palm oil.

Bio certificate
The aim of organic farming is to operate in cycles in harmony with nature. The Bio certificate is used to label products that meet the requirements of the EU organic regulation. The regulations apply to manufacturing, processing and trade. Compliance with this is checked by a state-approved inspection body at least once a year.
HACCP
HACCP is the abbreviation for 'Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points' and stands for the hazard analysis and control of critical points – at all stages of the preparation, processing, production, packaging, storage, transport, distribution, treatment and sale of food. The main objective of HACCP is to ensure consumer health by avoiding potential hazards in production. FARÜCHOC has implemented a detailed HACCP concept for years in order to minimise health hazards.
