FoodChain ID Launches USDA Organic Certification Powered by SupplyTrak® Software
FoodChain ID, one of the world's leading food safety, testing and sustainability organizations, expands its service portfolio with the addition of USDA Organic Certifications, powered by SupplyTrak®, for North American companies.
FAIRFIELD, Iowa, Mar. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- FoodChain ID, one of the world's leading food safety, testing and sustainability organizations, expands its service portfolio with the addition of USDA Organic Certifications, powered by SupplyTrak®, for North American companies in response to the industry's growing need for integrated solutions and the continued uptick in consumer demand for food transparency.
Widely recognized for its Non-GMO Project Verification services, many of FoodChain ID's clients have requested stacked organic inspections to consolidate their certifications, saving both time and money. With almost half of FoodChain ID's Non-GMO Project Verified clients simultaneously certifying organic, the need is substantial.
"Obtaining and maintaining National Organic Program certification can feel like a full-time commitment," said Mark Dabroski, senior vice president, commercial services. "Add in the idea of managing multiple certification programs – with their overlapping documentation requirements – and the stress level goes up while speed and efficiency go down."
Foodchain ID SupplyTrak software – the leading compliance and supply chain solution for Non-GMO Project Verification - goes far beyond an electronic paper trail. SupplyTrak enables users to share data from all organic and Non-GMO Certifications for streamlined efficiency, up-to-the-minute status, overall visibility, and reduced cost.
SupplyTrak is a certification enabler, identifying required documents and storing them in an organized, easily accessible platform for clients and their inspectors. It allows clients to stay up to date on certificates, affidavits, and critical filing deadlines, ensures inspection readiness every year in order to renew certifications, enables Non-GMO Project Verified clients to reuse data, and virtually eliminates ongoing "paper chases" and time crunches.
FoodChain ID, formerly known as Global ID Group, has 20+ years offering specialized services for the food, beverage, ingredient and food component (i.e. grain) industries, spanning the entire food supply chain.
The first technical administrator for the Non-GMO Project's Product Verification Program, it recently acquired Bioagricert, a global company that was among the first to market in the certification of organic foods. With more than 33 years of expertise in the organic sector, Bioagricert is one of the top global NOP-certifying bodies, having certified close to one thousand operations.
"As an organic certification pioneer, Bioagricert's expertise in organic certification, combined with FoodChain ID's Non-GMO verification expertise and SupplyTrak mapping and label verification system, further strengthens FoodChain ID's leadership position in providing leading market label claims," says Dabroski.
FoodChain ID's services offer clients across the entire food supply chain higher levels of transparency, safety and sustainability.
