Bremerhaven-based independent inspection and service company Impetus Quality Inspection (IQI) recently expanded its operations in China on the back of negative headlines and consumer skepticism against Asian fresh and frozen food imports.

"This step was necessary to meet the quality demands of our European customers," Volker Loock, manager responsible south-east Asia at IQI, told IntraFish.
