Quality Management

In order to be able to source only high-quality seeds from the cultivation countries, we are on the move all over the world. From sowing to harvest, we regularly check the quality and cultivation of the plants. Of course, quality is no coincidence! All products with our name on it, come from audited farmers and have undergone various quality checks at the company headquarter in Schillingsfürst.

Incoming goods are thoroughly checked by our highly qualified personnel in renowned, accredited laboratories. Only if our goods have passed these tests, they will be forwarded to our customers.

Product Safety

Knowing where the products are from creates trust! Trust is one of the starting points for good cooperation. That is why it is important for us to disclose the path of the requested goods from the country of origin all the way to the customer.

BOur products are already tested in the country of origin by a qualified employee. Only if they have passed all the tests, they are exported to Germany. Once there, the products thoroughly re-examined by authorized laboratories before being shipped to the customer by certified carriers.

Analysis

We keen on guaranteeing the highest level of quality for our products. In order to make this possible, our seeds are sensory and optical examined by independent and authorized laboratories. The requirements of our customers are very important to us. In addition, extensive analyzes are performed on pesticides, allergens, microbiological substances, GMOs, aflatoxins, heavy metals and much more.

Cooperation

In order to always provide our customers with the best products, we collaborate closely with experienced food laboratories.

Since the high and consistent quality of our products has top priority for us, we have implemented a HACCP concept in our company. The GB-Foods GmbH is also controlled and certified by an independent organic board of control.

Paraguay

From Paraguay we mainly source chia, sesame and moringa. The family connection to this country makes the business relationship particularly interesting for us, because we can trust the quality of the goods and have direct insight into agricultural standards and production. In addition to the export company, our partner has also set up a foundation that supports smallholders in Paraguay through various projects in order to develop stable self-sufficiency. Our partner also obtains its products from these small farmers, which we in turn sell in Europe.

China

In China is a company founded by Europeans, which enables the import of goods according to European standards. Among other things, we source goji berries, pumpkin seeds and hemp seeds from China.

India

India is the main growing area for our psyllium products, which we are supplied by one of the world market leaders. Our partner knows the quality requirements and standards for Europe and can guarantee them to us. Other “niche” products are e.g. cinnamon, moringa or ashwagandha, which we obtain from a smallholder producer group. This is how we can support Indian small and family businesses.

At the same time, we support the non-profit association Muskaan – Smile for India e.V., which supports poor and disadvantaged people through various projects. The focus here is primarily on children and women.

Tanzania

In the summer of 2021, Tanzania followed as the country of origin for turmeric, moringa and ginger. Our local partner buys the raw materials from various regional, organically certified smallholders and processes them on the company premises. Here, too, we can support smallholders in Tanzania in this way.

Poland

We have found a new partner for our interim storage and our bottling in Poland. We also get some of our dried fruit and fruit powder from here.

Germany

Our head office is in Schillingsfürst. In addition to our central warehouse in Hamburg, one of our intermediate warehouses is also located here.

Wherever possible, we try to source products directly from German or even regional farmers. We have already been able to implement this with blue poppy, caraway, barley grass and quinoa. However, we are trying to constantly increase our range.
