IFS Higher Level

We provide our customers with safe food products for daily use. As food safety and quality are our top priorities, we make use of external parties who conduct strict and unexpected quality checks according to the International Food Standard (IFS). This standard sets the highest norms for hygiene, food safety and quality.

We are proud to annually be awarded with the IFS Higher Level certificate: proof that SMITS meets the IFS standard. This means we can ensure our customers of high-quality food-safe products.

The IFS standard concerns a set of requirements that our company is obliged to meet to receive the IFS-certificate. The testing includes a thorough investigation regarding SMITS’ company management, checks we perform with our suppliers, which cleaning products are used and how SMITS keeps track of their products, e.g., which onions come from which grower, and how/where they are packed. In short: a continuous, effective process of clear communication, hazard analysis, in-house checks, risk assessment and data collection.

“We document everything,” says plant and quality manager Lonneke Bomers. “We check and report on every cargo. This gives us access to enormous amounts of data from our farmers, and insight into their products’ quality and performance. Because of SMITS' rapid expansion,

and the amount of data accompanying this, we reap the benefits of our digitization process every day.”

HYGIENE

The combination of quality and hygiene is also known as food safety culture and is top priority in every aspect of our company. SMITS’ management team ensures that SMITS' food safety culture meets IFS standards. That is why we continuously update our team about the newest legislations and regulations regarding food safety. Together, we make sure that everyone has accurate knowledge to fulfill their tasks the right way. This is how we keep a sharp mind, and our product quality at the highest achievable level.

Innovation

Innovation is of great importance to SMITS. By using the latest technological developments, we combat food waste and contribute to a circular society.

Our machines are unique, and specifically adjusted to our wishes. Ranging from a machine that captures excess onion juice so it can serve as a unique ingredient, to a new kind of treatment which turns excess natural waste into safe animal food.
WE CRY FOR YOU
SMITS turned the sliced and peeled Dutch onion into an international bestseller, with having compassion towards people, animals, and the environment. And out of appreciation for every culinary use of the vegetable.
