Certificates

Directly upon their arrival the exquisite spices and herbs which we import from all over the world for our raw materials have to undergo stringent standardized checks. It is only after they will have been approved by accredited laboratories and our in-house quality control department that we will allow them to go into the production process.

Meticulous checking and monitoring routines throughout the entire production processes and of our outgoing products guarantee a maximum of product safety. We do this work in strict compliance with our comprehensive HACCP concept which we are permanently improving, also in cooperation with universities and academic colleges. This is an essential part of our quality management which works according to the provisions of the International Food Standard (IFS) higher level and the DIN EN ISO 9001- 2008 standard, which we respectively implemented already as early as in July of 2005 and February of 1996. In addition all transports of our products are done by certified carriers only.

Gentle grinding of the spices is of prime importance to ensure that their aromas and flavours will be fully preserved. The high technical standard of our spice mills and modern grinding processes will guarantee that all aromas will fully unfold.

If you have your own spice recipes we will be happy to produce and mix the same for you. Of course we will also help you with the development of special recipes for your own products. You will receive the ready-to-use mixtures at the requested date, also packed in batches, if you want us to do this for you as well. It goes without saying that we will treat your recipes in strictest confidence.

It has been and is our company's endeavour and goal to operate in an environmentally friendly way and in harmony with our natural environment. This is why we were the first German spice factory which was entered in the European-wide EC Eco-Audit Register in 1988. As we have since been able to successfully implement most of our then environmental goals we eventually decided to work in line with the internationally better known environmental management standard DIN EN ISO 14001, for which we have been certified ever since January of 2004.

We can also supply you with exquisite spices, herbs and spice blends which come from organically controlled farms. By using Schuco's organic spices you will also contribute to the production and use of environmentally friendly and wholesome all natural foodstuffs. Harmonization of all of our products with nature is and will forever be in the very focus of our work. Our organic spices are certainly good evidence for these endeavours.

Our company's 85 years of history are impressive evidence to show that the basic principles governing our work are honesty, fairness, sincerity, mutual respect and trust. These permanent endeavours are also distinctive for the status and positions which we take in economic, social and natural contexts and environments. For us the concept of &quit;honest respectable merchant&quit; is not just an empty term, but its ideals are being put in practise by us on an everyday basis. We invite you to see this for your own selves in cooperating with us.
