S.I.F.

S.I.F. (Federal Inspection Service) is associated with the Department of Inspection of Animal-Origin Products (DIPOA) and ensures the quality of animal-origin products for both domestic and international markets. To obtain the S.I.F. seal, products undergo several stages of inspection. All animal-origin products are registered and approved by S.I.F., guaranteeing sanitary and technological certification in accordance with national and international regulations. Products from Bee Propolis Brazil carry the S.I.F. seal on their packaging, certifying this compliance.

ISO 9001

Bee Propolis Brazil, with ISO 9001 certification, ensures quality in its products and services through rigorous management, customer focus, continuous improvement, and a commitment to quality in all practices. Internationally recognized, the ISO 9001 standard attests to the company’s reliability and highlights it in the market.

FDA

The FDA, an acronym for the Food and Drug Administration, is a federal agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The FDA is entrusted with the responsibility of safeguarding public health by ensuring the efficacy and safety of human and veterinary medicines, foodstuffs, cosmetics, and other consumer products. FDA certification represents a formal validation that a product has undergone rigorous evaluation by the American agency and has been deemed safe for use. This certification affirms that products adhere to all mandated safety and quality standards and permits their sale within the United States.

USDA

The USDA Organic certification authorizes Bee Propolis Brasil to market its organic products within the United States, signifying a steadfast commitment to environmental stewardship and consumer protection. This certification ensures adherence to rigorous standards concerning climate and environmental conservation, soil preservation, biodiversity maintenance, respect for natural cycles, animal welfare, and the exclusion of chemicals and genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Additionally, it mandates transparent labeling in compliance with regulatory requirements. With this certification, Bee Propolis Brasil is permitted to sell and label its products as organic in the United States.

EU Organic

The European organic farming certification, governed by Regulation EC No 834/2007 and issued by Ecocert to Bee Propolis Brasil, authorizes the sale of its organic products across the 27 member countries of the European Union and the United Kingdom. Similar to USDA certification, this certification underscores the company’s dedication to climate and environmental protection, soil conservation, and biodiversity preservation, further supported by sustainable beekeeping practices. It also ensures adherence to natural cycles and animal welfare, prohibits the use of chemicals and genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and mandates transparent labeling. This certification applies to agricultural raw materials and food products, such as propolis and honey.

Orgânico do Brasil

The certification of Agricultura Orgânica Brasil (Organic Agriculture Brazil), provided by Ecocert, guarantees that products are healthy and free from contaminants, while respecting the environment and health. The SisOrg (Sistema Brasileiro de Avaliação de Conformidade Orgânica) seal, as regulated by the Ministry of Agriculture, adheres to international criteria and Brazilian technical requirements. With this certification, Bee Propolis Brasil ensures transparency, traceability, reduced environmental impact, and optimized use of natural resources, thereby permitting the sale of organic products in Brazil and reinforcing its commitment to sustainability.

Agricultura Familiar

The Selo Nacional da Agricultura Familiar (National Seal of Family Farming, or SENAF) identifies products from family farming in Brazil and is valid for 2 years. Family farming is a type of agriculture conducted on small rural properties, and Bee Propolis Brasil is a company that supports this activity, where the harvest serves as food for the farmers themselves and also for part of the population.

GACC

The GACC certification confirms that the company is authorized to export food products to China. In 2021, the General Administration of Customs of China (GACC) issued Decree 248/2021 for the registration of establishments exporting food to the Asian country, as well as Decree 249/2021, which addresses the safety of imported and exported foods and verifies that the company adheres to good manufacturing practices. Any establishment intending to export food to China must obtain this registration both with the destination country and in Brazil.

SQF

Bee Propolis Brasil adheres to the rigorous standards of the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), which establish international guidelines to ensure that food is safe, high-quality, and responsibly produced. As part of this commitment, the company has achieved Safe Quality Food (SQF) certification, a globally recognized standard that attests to compliance with rigorous production practices. Audited and approved by experts, Bee Propolis Brasil follows protocols that ensure food safety, risk control, hygiene, good manufacturing practices, and legal compliance, continually reinforcing the excellence of its processes and customer satisfaction.

Eu Reciclo

The Eu Reciclo seal attests to the commitment of companies that offset the environmental impact of their packaging. By joining the program, organizations ensure that an equivalent amount of their packaging is recycled, supporting cooperatives and professionals in the sector. At Bee Propolis Brasil, we believe that sustainability and social responsibility go hand in hand. Among the benefits of this initiative are the encouragement of recycling with social responsibility, environmental preservation, compliance with the National Solid Waste Policy (PNRS), and the attraction SSSSof consumers who value sustainable companies.
