At Cocalni, we work to ensure that every citrus fruit that leaves our facilities meets the highest standards of quality and food safety. That is why our products carry the IFS Food seal, an internationally recognised certification that guarantees the excellence of our processes. But what does this seal really mean, and why is it so important for customers and consumers?
What is the IFS Food seal?
IFS Food is an international standard that certifies food safety and process quality in companies that handle, package or process food. This standard evaluates key aspects such as hygiene, risk control, traceability, facility management and staff training. In the case of Cocalni, the IFS Food seal guarantees that our citrus fruits are handled under strict controls from the moment they arrive from the field until they are prepared for distribution.
Obtaining and maintaining this certification involves undergoing regular audits and complying with very demanding requirements. It is an ongoing process that drives us to review and improve every phase of our warehouse work, ensuring that everything is carried out in a controlled and transparent manner.
What IFS Food brings to our customers and consumers
Having the IFS Food seal means offering trust, safety and reliability. For distributors and professional customers, it is a guarantee that the products comply with the standards required by the main national and international markets. For the end consumer, it means peace of mind knowing that the citrus fruits have undergone rigorous controls that minimise risks and ensure product quality.
Furthermore, this certification reinforces our commitment to traceability: each batch can be tracked at all times, enabling responsible and rapid management in the event of any incident. It is a way of protecting both the consumer and the entire food chain.
A firm commitment to excellence
At Cocalni, we see the IFS Food certification as a natural extension of our work philosophy. We are committed to well-executed processes, trained personnel and continuous improvement, because we believe that quality is not a one-off result, but rather a way of working every day. This commitment, combined with agricultural certifications and the efforts of our farming partners, allows us to offer safe, reliable citrus fruits that are backed by international standards.
