Criteria 4.4: Criteria 4.4: Traceability system is in place in line with market, certification and legal requirements


4.4.4

In cultivation and wild collection sites, traceability systems identify farmers or pickers, the location of cultivation or wild collection, production volumes, and prices paid to producers.



Copies of relevant documents (invoices, intake documents, delivery notes, etc.) of the purchases/sales of the ingredients subject to certification or verification are kept. Purchase records indicate the name of the field operator, date of delivery, name of the ingredient and volumes received. Sales documents clearly indicate whether the ingredient is certified or verified or verified and include name of the ingredient and volumes. Ingredients received as certified or verified or verified by the Oas are only those sourced from the field operators that are part of the programme and did not have a ‘suspended’ status due to non-conformities, breaches of contract, or other issues at the time of purchase.

DOCUMENTATION

Records such as maps, receipts, sales purchases, warehouse books, list of producers, etc.
