Green certification of agricultural products is an official recognition process for agricultural products that meet specific environmental, health and quality standards, aiming to ensure that agricultural products follow sustainable agricultural principles in the production process, and guarantee food safety and environmental friendliness.
In China, applying for and obtaining green food certification needs to go through a series of strict steps and review processes, and the following is a detailed guide:
Green food certification process (subject to the latest policy):
1.Production base selection and environmental assessment:
The planting or breeding base of agricultural products must be located in a pollution-free or micro-polluted area, and the quality of the ecological environment must meet the environmental quality standards of green food producing areas stipulated by the state or locality.
2.Establish a quality management system:
The reporting unit shall establish and improve the internal quality management system, including production operation procedures, input management, traceability system, etc.
1.Get the application materials:
Obtain the "Application for the Use of Green Food Label" from the China Green Food Development Center or the provincial green office and other relevant ** and information, or from the official ***
2.Fill out and submit:
Fill in the application form completely as required, and provide a copy of the business license of the enterprise legal person, the certification document of the production base, the product quality inspection report, the text of the production procedure and other necessary documents.
The applicant needs to send personnel to participate in the green food internal inspector training course organized by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and pass the examination to obtain the qualification certificate.
The Green Food Office or relevant institutions will conduct on-site inspections of the reporting unit, including raw materials, production processes, processing links, storage conditions, etc., and conduct sampling monitoring of the environment of the place of origin.
The samples are sent to a qualified testing institution for testing of product quality and hygiene indicators to ensure that they meet the product standards of green food.
The review committee conducts a comprehensive review based on the application materials, on-site inspection results and product testing reports.
The product information that has passed the review will be publicized on the designated platform and subject to social supervision.
If there is no objection at the expiration of the publicity period, the China Green Food Development Center will issue a certificate of the right to use the green food logo, and the use of the green food mark on its product packaging is allowed.
After obtaining certification, enterprises should regularly undergo annual inspections and market sampling inspections to ensure that they continue to meet the standard requirements of green food.
The above process covers the whole process from application to final certification, and each link needs to strictly comply with relevant regulations to ensure the quality control of agricultural products from source to table, and achieve "green" certification in the true sense. In addition, as the green food certification standards are constantly updated and improved, the latest certification requirements and procedures should be referred to when actually applying.
