FAQ

Which certifications can FoodChain ID support for food products? 

FoodChain ID offers a broad range of options including USDA Organic, EU Organic, Non-GMO Certification, Non-GMO Project Verification, Plant-Based and Vegan Certification, Gluten-Free Certification, PDO/PGI/TSG and Non-UPF Verification.

Why is a single certification partner helpful for regulatory teams? 

It reduces fragmentation across programs, making it easier to compare requirements, manage documentation and support multiple claims with greater consistency. FoodChain ID’s proprietary database SupplyTrak® can support multiple claims across products, saving your team time and resources. This can be particularly valuable for organizations managing multiple food certifications and claims across product portfolios.

What is food product certification and how does it work? 

Food product certification evaluates ingredients, processes and documentation to confirm a product meets specific standards or claims. It typically involves assessment, testing and independent evaluation steps. 

What is food certification and why is it important?

Food certification is a process that verifies a product meets defined standards for safety, quality and labeling. It is important because it builds consumer trust, supports compliance and enables access to global markets. Certifications such as USDA Organic and Non-GMO Project Verification help companies demonstrate compliance with recognized product standards.

What is the difference between food certification and food verification?

Food certification confirms compliance with a defined standard through a formal certification process, while food verification validates specific claims or attributes without full certification. Examples of verification programs include sustainability verification, which focuses on validating specific claims, data, or practices rather than certifying against a complete standard.

How do you get Non-GMO certification for a food product?

Start with a scope review to confirm which non-GMO program fits your product and target market. You then submit product, ingredient, supplier and facility information, FoodChain ID reviews it and helps you close any gaps, and the product is certified once approved, with renewal as products or suppliers change. See all the steps for Non-GMO certification.

What is the difference between Non-GMO certification and Non-GMO Project Verification?

FoodChain ID’s Non-GMO certification certifies products and ingredients against FoodChain ID’s own non-GMO standard, with a focus on supply chain traceability. Non-GMO Project Verification is a separate program that leads to the Non-GMO Project Verified label, one of the most recognized non-GMO claims in North America.
