GLOBALG.A.P. Chain of Custody

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.
