Product certification is accompanied by a unique QR code, which ensures:

 

Access to comprehensive chemical and microbiological analyses conducted at the Laboratory of Food Chemistry of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (NKUA), under the supervision and coordination of Professor of Food Chemistry, Charalambos Proestos.

Compliance with European and National food and beverage legislation.

Clear, easy access to all relevant product information via the Trust Innovator platform.

Adherence to strict procedures for providing and maintaining the certification.

Process

The process is structured to ensure the absolute reliability of quality and safety analysis results.

It begins with random sampling of finished products from points of sale twice a year, depending on the product category. These samples are then subjected to strict chemical and microbiological analyses, in accordance with the predefined tests outlined in each company's cooperation agreement with the Laboratory of Food Chemistry of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens.

All procedures are conducted under the supervision and coordination of the scientific director of the NKUA Food Chemistry Department, Mr. Charalambos Proestos.

The final assessment, accompanied by detailed conclusions from the analyses performed in the laboratory, is made available to the consumer via a digital platform. There, each product acquires a unique QR code, which, upon scanning, provides immediate access to critical information such as safety, quality, potential adulteration, and/or authenticity.

If a product does not comply with European or National legislation, the corresponding certification is not provided, and a correction and re-evaluation process is followed.

CONSUMER VALUE

The term "consumer value" refers to the benefits a consumer receives from purchasing and using a product or service, compared to the cost they pay for it.
