Convenience

Manufacturers of convenience products can also advertise products containing less than 50 per cent QS meat and meat products with an extended QS certification mark. Consumers can reliably recognise the QS content in the product by means of a note in the list of ingredients of the convenience products. This creates transparency and trust.

With the new Convenience Guideline, QS offers a practical solution for convenience manufacturers that enables comprehensive use of the QS certification mark for convenience products: The QS certification mark can also be used for products with a QS meat content of less than 50 per cent. This means that products such as pasta in combination with meat ingredients, pizza, lasagne, baked goods, sandwiches, convenience products with a high liquid/pasty content (e.g. delicatessen salads containing meat with mayonnaise/dressings) as well as ready meals and menu components can also be labelled with the coveted QS certification mark.
