Who needs Chain of Custody? Nicolas Viart Product Integrity Manager September 2011
Learning Objectives • To know who needs Chain of Custody and demonstrate this practically • To understand where the Chain of Custody begins and ends
Agenda • Three crucial questions • Consumer ready tamper-proof products • Specific cases
Simple Seafood Supply Chain Who needs COC? Restaurant Fisher Processor Distributor • Reality: many operators, activities, locations
Who needs CoC?Three crucial questions • Do they take ownership 2. Do they transform or process the product 3. Do they handle consumer-ready tamper proof products
Consumer-Ready Tamper Proof Products NO Yes Part B, 17.1.2.1 Table B1 (Need for certification)
Thought Shower • Identify if the products shown are consumer-ready tamper proof products • Share some other examples and discuss
Who needs CoC? Do they take ownership? Yes No Do they transform or process the product (for example subcontractors)? Do they handle consumer-ready tamper proof products? No No Yes Yes CoC is (potentially) required No need for CoC No need for CoC CoC is required
Who needs CoC? Certified fishery Importer/wholesaler Processor Product will be manipulated Consumer-ready tamper proof product Distributor Distributor Certified retailer Certified restaurant Non-certified retailer The consumer is assured that this product comes from a certified fishery
Traders • Traders need to be CoC certified if they take ownership of the product, even if they do not take physical possession of the product • Ongoing Surveillance – 17.8 of Part B • 17.1.2 Need for certification
Wholesalers and Distributors • CoC is required if other companies further down the chain wish to use the ecolabel or wish to make a claim about their MSC-certified products • Part B, 17.1.1 Need for certification
Who needs CoC? Not sure? Ask the three questions! • Do they take ownership 2. Do they transform or process the product • Do they handle consumer-ready tamper proof products
Who needs CoC?Scheme Documents • Part B • 17.1.2: Need for certification • 17.1.2.1: Consumer ready tamper proof definition and decision tree • 17.3.3: Direction for assessing subcontractors
Key points - remember Three Crucial Questions • Each company that takes ownership is required to have certification – EVEN if they don’t take possession • In most cases, processors need CoC. In all cases, they need an onsite audit • Once product is packed into consumer ready, tamper proof packs, CoC is no longer required
