The QS certification mark - Signal for fresh food in controlled quality


Our aim is to confirm consumer confidence in fresh food every day. The QS certification mark stands for a high level of safety for meat and sausage products, fruit, vegetables and potatoes. QS is the leading standard for food safety in Germany: 95% of all fresh pork and poultry, 85% of beef and 90% of fruit, vegetables and potatoes from Germany are QS certified. More than 25,000 branches of the food retail offer beef and pork, poultry, sausage and ham as well as a wide range of fruit and vegetables with the blue QS certification mark.

Under the following links you will find the style guide for the use of the QS certification mark and you can log in directly to our partner section for the use of the mark or use our form for an easier approval request.

The blue QS certification mark symbolizes...

Shared responsibility

The circle symbolizes the commonality and solidarity of all partners in their responsibility for the product. Only when the safety of a food product has been conclusively confirmed across all stages and partners may it bear the blue QS certification mark. The blue colour stands for freshness and hygiene.

Consistent quality assurance

The arrow conveys the focus on the common goal: consistent quality assurance for safe food from farm to shop. And it indicates that it goes even further: because after the purchase - during transport, storage and preparation of fresh food - the responsibility for quality assurance lies with you, the consumer.
