AH-DLL GROW is a private add-on to the Integrated Farm Assurance (IFA) standard for producers that supply the Dutch retailer Albert Heijn and/or the Belgian retailer Delhaize. It is focused on farm-level risk management for producers in the areas of hygiene, residue monitoring, and prevention of foreign body contamination.
AH-DLL GROW is available for only those individual producers and producer groups who supply fruit and vegetable products either directly or via their suppliers to Albert Heijn in the Netherlands or Delhaize in Belgium.
All producers must hold certification to Integrated Farm Assurance (IFA) for fruit and vegetables, as the audit builds on existing IFA requirements.
The add-on is composed of principles and criteria (P&Cs) which are all graded as either Major Must, requiring 100% compliance, or Recommendation. The AH-DLL GROW checklist contains dedicated Albert Heijn/Delhaize requirements – 29 P&Cs – that are audited together with those in the Integrated Farm Assurance (IFA) standard for fruit and vegetables.
Every producer registered in the GLOBALG.A.P. certification system is assigned a 13-digit GLOBALG.A.P. identification number (e.g., a GLOBALG.A.P. Number (GGN)). This number allows real-time verification of conformance status in the GLOBALG.A.P. IT systems , upholding our rigorous transparency requirements throughout the supply chain.
Producers can control data access and privacy rights for audit reports, and the reports are not shared publicly or with third parties. This process is handled via EUROCERT.
EUROCERT certificates are accepted and recognized by supermarket chains in European Market (AH, Lidl, Aldi, Sainsburry’s and Marks and Spencer etc).
EUROCERT offers the option of simultaneous inspection for more than one standards/protocols to reduce costs.
