Trade name:    QS Ihr prufsystem fur lebensmittel (Germany)
The QS quality scheme for food is an inspection scheme for food from farm to shop that is unique in Europe: since it was founded in 2001, it has been a byword for thorough inspections, reliable traceability and clear labelling of food you can trust. The QS certification mark on fresh food products tells the consumer that the requirements of the QS scheme have been satisfied in all stages of the production and marketing of the product. It renders cross-stage quality assurance visible, thereby forming the basis for informed purchase decisions. More info on Wikipedia (german).
