How Do I Get Food Safety Certification?

Food safety certification means that a third party gives written guarantee or certificate of conformity to the requirements of food, production process and service according to the procedures. At present, the food market often sees words such as natural, pollution-free, green and healthy. There are domestic pollution-free vegetable certifications to ensure that chemical pesticides and chemical fertilizers are used reasonably in the production process of products, and that pesticide residues on products do not exceed specific standards. However, some products in the market claim to be pollution-free vegetables without certification. Fresh food quality inspection mainly includes: vegetable and fruit pesticide residue inspection, fruit sugar content, meat lean meat extract, total number of colonies, and coliform bacteria inspection.

At present in the food market, words that are easily confused with organics are often seen, such as: natural, wild, environmentally friendly, green, pollution-free, pollution-free, health, and so on. According to the organic state of the product, the Farmers Union specifically points out to consumers that there is no specific clear and consistent standard for natural, environmental protection, pollution-free, health, etc., which may have nothing to do with organics. The actual quality is yet to be determined. The Farmers Union does not intend to imply the quality of these products. Low, just to give consumers more awareness to be fair. Especially in some suspected cases, there may be suspicions of deliberately confusing audiovisual: consumers are expected to keep their eyes wide open, such as: the brand of "organic" apples; or the organic principle is introduced in the promotional materials, but the product packaging does not mention whether the product is organic; Or the price tag is organic, but it is actually a label of a famous brand; even if it is placed with other products that are not labeled organic, they are not strictly organic products.

Definition

Written guarantees for food production and services

Such as imported products, including various processed foods and drinks. Usually complete packaging from the place of origin, the packaging often contains CertifiedOrganic (Certified Organic Products), Certifiedby xxx (certified by xxx) and / or with the relevant certification body logo and other materials, some more likely to have the Organic Alliance (IFOAM) or the United States Approved by the USDA. The so-called third party refers to an organic product certified by a third party that is independent of the producer and consumer or the buyer and seller.

Some processed foods or personal care products may use organic ingredients in some of the ingredients. The product's ingredient list states that an ingredient is certified by an agency. Processed products can also be labeled Organic Product, Made with Organic Ingredient, or other words based on the percentage of organic materials. These words or related regulations will vary from certification authority to certification authority.

In addition, there are many certification systems today. It is necessary to pay special attention to the differences between certification organizations. There are vegetarian certification, certification without genetically modified ingredients, and certification of the production and content of certain types of ingredients in products. These certifications are related to organic certification. Different, they cannot be confused.

The label categories for organic products in the United States are:

1 , 100% organic : made entirely by organic methods;

2. Organic : At least 95% of the ingredients are organic (except salt and water, calculated by weight) processed products;

3. Containing organic ingredients : Products containing 70-95% organic ingredients can display this word on the front of the product;

4. For products with less than 70% organic ingredients, only organic materials can be listed in the ingredient list;

Refers to all that have not been certified organic by a third party. Including locally produced organic vegetables; some imported organic vegetables without pre-packaging; some organic products that were originally imported but were sold in retail packaging locally; some imported pre-packaged products may also be this one type. These declared organic on the packaging or label may be provided by producers, importers, wholesalers, retailers (such as supermarkets) or other agencies, but without the logo of an independent organic certification body.

The organic state or organic integrity of a self-declared organic product is not necessarily worse than that with certification, but it is not known. It may be because there is no certification system in the area; or the scale of producers is too small, and the proportion of certification costs becomes expensive, which is not worth doing.

Products that claim to contain organic-related words: In the product information provided by the manufacturer or distributor, it is not explicitly stated to be organic, but only contains information on the use or non-use of certain materials in the production process, such as: None Chemical fertilizers, no chemical pesticides, no pesticides, organic fertilizer cultivation, etc. Because organic products are not simply produced with or without certain types of materials, but have a set of operating standards, such products are not necessarily organic.

(natural)

Pure wild products are not the same as organic ones, and its substantial meaning still needs to be confirmed. But as long as the product meets certain standards, it can also be labeled as an organic product after certification.

There are domestic pollution-free vegetable certifications to ensure that chemical pesticides and chemical fertilizers are used reasonably in the production process of products, and that pesticide residues on the products do not exceed specific standards. These products have more guarantees than vegetables without any certification, but they are not organic products. Some products on the market also claim to be pollution-free vegetables without certification.

Green food is certified by the Green Food Development Center of the Ministry of Agriculture. It is divided into A and AA grades. The former can use low-toxic chemical pesticides, while the latter is very close to organic. The label for A-grade green food is a green pattern with white characters and white patterns. The last number in a 10-digit product number is 1. The label for AA green food is a green pattern with white characters and a green pattern. The last number in a 10-digit product number is 2 .
