During an inspection at a biologically certified company, Skal recently discovered a false organic certificate from a food packer in the north of the country. The packer shared a certificate that had not been issued by Skal. This gave the impression that the company was certified by Skal, which was not the case. Skal has launched an investigation.
The false organic certificate of the packer is recognizable by a conspicuous old layout with a large red area. At the bottom of this news item you can see the false organic certificate.
If you doubt the validity of a certificate you have received, you can always check the current status via TRACES. Can't find your organic service provider in TRACES? Then contact toezicht@skal.nl.
