Chain of Custody Certification

Safeguarding certification status throughout the supply chain.

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.

 

What is CoC ?

 

  • 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

 

CoC version updates

 

CoC is currently valid in v6. The CoC Technical Committee has been working on a clarification of v6 and intends to release an update of the standard – CoC v6.1 – during the fourth quarter of 2022.
