Eurep Gap has announced that the experience gained in the implementation of its standards on the fruit and Vegetable sector has now been applied in the field of flowers and ornamentals.

While food safety is not a direct issue for flowers, the chapter on the social code has been strengthened based on ILO criteria and made critical for approval.

The first certification bodies are already getting ready to begin certifying flowers and ornamentals.

All flower-related news will be communicated via a Eurep Gap infoletter for flowers.

Anyone who would like to be added to the distribution list should contact Food Plus on 0049 22 15 79 93 38.
