Bioland meat processors are regularly checked for compliance with the Bioland guidelines, from the raw material inventories through the manufacturing process to the product identification. The processing of Bioland sausage products requires high craftsmanship and well-founded knowledge about meat processing. "The production of Bioland sausage products is a high art! Only those who understand their craft can produce sausage products without additives and excipients such as phosphates and nitrite curing salt in such a top quality, "explains Hermann Jakob, inspector and head of the Fachschule für Fleischer in Kulmbach.

At Bioland, only selected ingredients and additives are added to the sausage. In order to preserve the quality of the Bioland raw materials in processing, only those processes are allowed which optimally preserve the ingredients of the foodstuffs. In addition, only 24 of the total 316 food additives currently authorized in the EU is permitted for the production of Bioland products. For the sausage production according to Bioland guidelines, only seven additives and auxiliaries are permitted. Bioland sausages contain no nitrite curing salt, no flavor enhancers, no antioxidants or phosphates. Instead, Bioland-Metzger work with tried and tested craftsmanship and traditional recipes. This requires skilled craftsmanship, specialist knowledge and passion.
