Country of Origin Labeling regulations require a covered commodity to have verifiable record keeping of its production and processing history to support accurate labeling.

The necessity of increased coordination of previously untracked supply chain information will require closer relationships throughout the supply chain. It will also require tools capable of collecting and sharing the required information. Authenticity management systems provide a verification tool to retailers, ensuring confidence that origins of production and processing are accurately labeled and comply with the rule.

Critereon’s compliance monitoring systems evolved from our experience in protecting the value of special crops and market animals. We routinely design systems that address both regulatory compliance and identity preservation in the agri-food industry. Our compliance services support international market demands for traceability as well as specific production practices.

Every supply chain is unique and requires a tailored approach to keep costs low and limit the potentially negative logistics effects of COOL.
