Nothing newStrong competition in a global marketShifting market driversInsufficient competencies of business partnerBenefit from lack of analytical definitionUncertainty of measurementNon-likelihood of government complaintNon-likelihood of penalty from courtIncreasing disputabilityBenefit from unpredictability in court

Important to keep in mind
We are a multi-media society
Transparency will become a prerequisite for your business (BRC issue7!)
Food & Feed fraud will become public sooner or later like unsafe productsin the RASFF and RAPEX

Intertaste Positioning Statement
Our primary focus is to develop exceptional and authentic flavours based on natural ingredients for various product
applications.
We opt for deep understanding of the production chain, to offer full transparency to our customers with regard to the
purchase, processing and delivery of our herbs and spices. We buy directly from the country of origin for example,
and we work in partnership with local farmers to select the best of what is available.
Comprehensive tests are carried out to verify purity and origin (i.o.t. exclude adulteration), thereby guaranteeing
the quality of the spices and the mixes prepared from them. During processing we apply the strictest possible quality
criteria and our products are delivered with clear and complete information about the ingredients, as well as a quality
declaration.
This means we fully comply with the standards of the European Spice Association and beyond.

Ground Nutmeg

Case
In 2013 Intertaste was confronted with competitors
offering ground micro safe nutmeg material below cost price.
Intertaste suspected spice “adulteration”.
Intertaste initiated a benchmark study in cooperation with
RIKILT on 47 nutmeg retail samples collected from 4 different
countries in Europe .

Quote from Prof. Dr. Ulrich Nöhle
Earlier you manufactured food in order to feed hungry people and……you added some information in addition.
Tomorrow you’ll manufacture information, which you cannot eat.And if this information is transparent and sufficient for the customer and consumer…..you may deliver the food in addition.
MENU

Final processing under controlled conditions
