EFSIS MD Mark Proctor said: “The partnership will see savings for the entire food industry in terms of cost and time as multiple inspections can be carried out under one roof. EFSIS is now able to undertake an accredited supplier inspection or farm inspection at the same time as an organic inspection in the food processing and farming sectors.
“As consumer demand for organic food continues to rise, we expect to see more and more farmers and food manufacturers converting to organic production with the reassurance that there are experts on hand to guide them through inspection and certification to achieve accreditation to the existing stringent standards.”
OF&G was the first organic certification body to be accredited by UKROFS, the government body set up to ensure that produce grown and sold in the UK as ‘organic’ conforms to European legislation.
OF&G chairman Charles Peers said: “Our expertise in organic farming coupled with EFSIS’ knowledge of food processing ensures a deep understanding of the total organic market, giving the industry added confidence to develop the organic sector.”
