"Safety and quality are the most important criteria for choosing products in the ATB-Market. More than 300 samples of products from different product groups, which we take directly from the shelves of our stores, are subjected to laboratory tests every month. Certainly, the work on certification of the food safety management system of all distribution network stores will certainly be continued. We understand that the goods on the shelf now is a product in the fridge or on the table of our customer within an hour. Therefore, we are very principled in matters of safety and quality control".
