Concentrate supply
A long, many-tiered supply chain makes the source invisible.
How do you show that your juice carries the proportion you declare?
We support beverage manufacturers in being able to show that their product's contents and origin agree with what they declare.
Implementation
Molevex in beverages.
A record running from concentrate purchase to bottling. You see that the concentrate you bought came from the fruit it is declared to be. A sugar source added from outside shows up as a difference when compared against the reference. Your claim about your product's variety and the region it came from is put on record.
In beverages the value usually sits in a proportion nobody can see. Concentrate, water and sugar source change the product easily.
You cannot verify that the concentrate you bought came from the fruit declared. A supplier certificate stands behind the fruit content on your label. Sugar added from outside cannot be told apart by eye. Your regional and varietal claim sets your price.

Regulation
Regulations relevant to traceability.
List of imitated or adulterated foods
Under Article 31(6) of Law No. 5996, the name of the company that produced or imported a food confirmed by laboratory results to be imitated or adulterated, along with the product name, brand and batch and/or serial number, is published by the Ministry. Because the announcement is made at batch level, it matters that businesses can tell their own batches apart reliably.
General Food Law Regulation (EC) 178/2002, Article 18
Requires food business operators to be able to identify the supplier they obtained a product from and the businesses they supplied it to, and to label or identify food placed on the market in a way that facilitates traceability. This "one step back, one step forward" principle is the basis of food traceability in the EU market.

Is anything added to our product or our production line?
No. Your product's own composition is examined; your packaging, your recipe and your machinery are left untouched. A product waiting in the warehouse or already on sale can be examined too.
Where do we start?
Let's assess your beverage range together. We will start from your concentrate sources and your product range.
Meeting request
