KCB launches visual database of fruit and vegetable defects

  • 23 April 2025

Inspectors and traders now have a practical tool at their disposal: the Kwaliteits-Controle-Bureau (KCB) has launched an online database featuring photos of quality defects in fruit and vegetables. Think of discolorations, damage, or deformities that can appear throughout the supply chain. The photo library helps users identify defects more quickly and assess them more consistently.

A tool for consistent quality control

The database is designed for anyone involved in quality control within the fruit and vegetable sector. The photos provide a clear view of defects commonly encountered in day-to-day operations. This makes it easier for the sector to maintain consistent standards when it comes to quality assessments. According to KCB, the tool supports greater transparency and smoother collaboration across the chain.

A database that evolves with the industry

The image bank is available via the KCB website and continues to grow over time. New photos are added regularly to keep the overview up to date. The images are intended for internal company use only. Redistribution or commercial use is not permitted.

For those working daily with fruit and vegetable quality, this visual tool offers a valuable addition to existing systems.
