Likewise, the Andalusian company obtained a score of 98.69% on the Higher Level certificate of IFS, which represents a record for the organisation, which has kept renewing this recognition since 2004.
‘Obtaining these certifications is a great recognition of the hard and nonstop work that we undertake at Agrosevilla regarding food safety and defence, consolidating our deep belief in quality and innovation to strengthen our commitment to our clients and, especially, to the consumers of our products,’ remarked José Antonio Fernández, director of Quality at Agrosevilla.
