Requirements for the "VLOG geprüft" seal
If you want to advertise with the "VLOG geprüft" seal on feed, you usually need a licence to use the seal. If you only trade in packaged goods and the articles have already been legally labelled with the "VLOG geprüft" seal by the manufacturer, you can use the seal on your documents and advertising materials without an additional licence.
In principle, any feed company can advertise with the "VLOG geprüft" seal, provided it meets the requirements of the VLOG Standard or a standard recognised as equivalent and concludes a license agreement.
For this purpose, the companies must credibly demonstrate that their products do not have to be labelled as "genetically modified" according to regulations (EC) No. 1829/2003 or No. 1830/2003. This requires certification according to the VLOG Standard or a standard recognised as equivalent by VLOG by an independent certification body. The requirements vary depending on the field of activity and product.
