We produce organic certified products.
We generate or source practically all of our ingredients organically. If something is not yet of organic quality, or does not yet meet our premium standard, then as an exception we do not use organic ingredients of the best quality. The organic certificate shows products that are 100% organic down to the last ingredient. This means that also in BE THE CHANGE products without
Organic label, there's a lot of organic in it.
We produce Swiss made.
In contrast to Made in Switzerland, Swiss made is subject to the Swissness legislation of the Swiss federal government. This guarantees, among other things, that we almost exclusively use local, high-quality ingredients and that we also manufacture our products in Switzerland. This means we have short transport routes from our farmers to production and thereby ensure the quality of the food, but also that of the Swiss working world.
The Swissness legislation
Since 2017, according to the Federal Law on the Protection of Trademarks and Indications of Origin, a product or service may be described as “Swiss made” under the following conditions:
The processing and production of BE THE CHANGE products takes place entirely, i.e. 100%, in Switzerland.
Food Safety Certificate
According to Swiss food law, health protection, protection against deception and hygienic handling of food and everyday objects must be guaranteed at all stages of production. Food safety is implemented based on the principles of good hygiene practice (GHP) and the HACCP system (hazard analysis and critical control points).
The official food inspection authority
certifies that Swiss Health & Nutrition AG complies with Swiss food law, is registered in Switzerland and is approved for export.
Certifié Cradle to Cradle®
Highest standard for eco-effectiveness.
Cradle to Cradle Certified® - Printed products manufactured by Vogeli AG.
Veterinary control number
The veterinary control number, or veterinary number for short, is a mandatory declaration from the production site that can be found on all products of animal origin throughout the EU. The veterinary control number is the essential part of the health mark. In Switzerland, the equivalent control number is called the permit number.
Our approval number is: CH 84667631
