Tracesability Management Systems

ISO 22005

ISO 22005:2007 gives the principles and specifies the basic requirements for the design and implementation of a feed and food traceability system. It can be applied by an organization operating at any step in the feed and food chain.

It is intended to be flexible enough to allow feed organizations and food organizations to achieve identified objectives.

The traceability system is a technical tool to assist an organization to conform with its defined objectives, and is applicable when necessary to determine the history or location of a product or its relevant components.

The GLOBALG.A.P. Chain of Custody Standard version 6

The GLOBALG.A.P. Chain of Custody (CoC) standard ensures that any product bearing a GGN label logo or sold with a GLOBALG.A.P. claim is truly sourced from a GLOBALG.A.P. certified production process.

The CoC standard provides this level of security by specifying strict requirements for the proper segregation, handling, and tracing of products in the supply chain. This prevents products originating from GLOBALG.A.P. certified production processes from being substituted or diluted with those from uncertified farms, either in error or for economic gain.

The CoC standard is therefore an essential tool for safeguarding product integrity from farm to retailer, reducing the risk of food fraud and enabling a quick response if problems arise.

CoC at a glance:

• Identifies products originating from GLOBALG.A.P. certified production processes and safeguards this status throughout the entire process, from farm to retailer
• Lays out strict requirements for the handling of products originating from certified production processes, including the proper segregation of products that originate from GLOBALG.A.P. certified production processes from those which do not
• Obligatory for companies that label products with a GLOBALG.A.P. identification number (e.g., GGN, CoC Number) or participate in the GGN label initiative
• Enhances supply chain transparency and product integrity, providing added value and customer reassurance
