At the end of 2022 Dutch Spices successfully passed the SimplyOK certification audit. This audit comprises a thorough check of a company’s allergen management system. In 2018 Dutch Spices became the first company in the world to be awarded this certification. During the annual audits since then the herbs & spices supplier has repeated its excellent performance and retained its SimplyOK certification.

SimplyOK’s goal is for allergen information to be communicated clearly, reliably and completely around the world, for example on labels and in product specifications. To achieve this the Foundation checks the allergen management systems of food production and processing companies via a certification system. The checks, or audits, are carried out by specially-trained auditors of the Vinçotte ISACert and Lloyd’s Register certification service providers. The auditors pay extra attention to the five basic pillars of allergen management, which include the prevention of cross-contamination. A SimplyOK-audit is always supplementary to an FSSC, BRC or IFS audit.
