NON-GMO Certification

Audit the non-GMO supply chain with SGS and verify the quality management
systems in place from the seed to the market place.
Selling food and/or feed that is non-genetically modified (non-GMO) places the burden of
proof on the supply chain. Our Non-GMO Supply Chain Standard helps organizations,
irrespective of type or size, to supply verifiably non-GMO product. The scope of certification
can extend from a single actor in the supply chain, a few or even the whole production
process.
What does the certification standard cover?
From the seed, through the growing process and harvest, transportation, collection, storing
and processing to the market channel, we offer independent certification of the quality
management systems. Certification also includes the verification of legal requirements
relating to the labeling and traceability of GMOs.
Based on EU regulations concerning non-GMO, including Directive 2001/18/EC and
regulations 1829/2003 and 1830/2003, our standard can be applied to all processes in the
supply chain:
• Seed supply
• Farming
• Trading
• Processing
As well as services to the supply chain:
• Storage
• Transport
• Sampling and analysis
Operators achieving certification will be subject to annual surveillance audits to ensure that
compliance is maintained.
Non-GMO supply chain certification does not replace compliance with national and international regulations.
