How our experts test

Sensory product analysis

Under standardised conditions, our experts prepare an expert report for each product. This report contains recommendations for quality optimisation. It is based on the internationally recognised product-specific DLG 5-point schemes®, which we are continuously developing.

Laboratory tests

Depending on the product and scope of testing, scientific partner institutes and organisations carry out product-specific microbiological, chemical and physical laboratory tests on behalf of the DLG in accordance with recognised official testing procedures.

Admission control and neutralisation

The marketable baked goods are taken from ongoing production and subjected to extensive quality controls. All products are anonymised for sensory testing. This means that the DLG experts assess product quality without knowing the manufacturer. This guarantees objective test results with high informative value.
