Food Quality. Assured.Independent food quality assurance, inspection and supplier management for international companies sourcing food, agricultural products and animal feed from Turkey.

What changes when your inspector works only for you
A buyer-side partner covers a different need from scheme audits and supplier-arranged checks.
| Question | Typical scheme or supplier-arranged checks | Conformity TR, appointed by the buyer |
|---|---|---|
| Who is the client? | Often the supplier, or a scheme owner | The buyer, in every assignment |
| What is checked? | Scheme requirements on audit days | Your specification, your label, your risks |
| When? | Periodic, often announced | When you decide: pre-harvest, production, pre-shipment, loading |
| What follows a finding? | Often a pass or fail decision | Same-day report and corrective action follow-up with the supplier |
| Who knows the product? | Auditors who may cover many sectors | Food and feed only, focused on Turkish exports |
