Food businesses need to follow documents across producers, distributors, and service teams. Signed records preserve source and version context alongside the physical checks your operations depend on.

## Food producers: Attach a checkable statement to a batch

A buyer may receive a batch document without a reliable link to the issuing producer.

### What to record

Issue a signed record with the batch reference, declared details, producer identity, and supporting document fingerprints.

### What to review

Check the source and document match, then evaluate product and safety claims through the buyer’s independent assurance process.

### The outcome

A batch statement with a clear source and a checkable document version.

## Food distribution: Preserve the evidence used to assess a supplier

Different teams may hold different versions of a supplier’s assurance documents.

### What to record

Record the supplier reference, submitted evidence fingerprints, assessment criteria version, and authorized review outcome.

### What to review

Compare current submissions with the reviewed set and re-evaluate changed evidence through the organization’s supplier controls.

### The outcome

An assessment history that identifies the documents used for the supplier review.

## Food service & catering: Issue checkable staff course records

Employees need to present training evidence across venues and assignments.

### What to record

Issue signed completion records under the training provider’s identity with course details and managed record status.

### What to review

Check issuer, integrity, and status while independently deciding whether the course satisfies the venue’s requirements.

### The outcome

Portable completion evidence for staff and the managers reviewing their training.

## Before you begin

Define batch references and approved issuing sources. Product safety, composition, and traceability claims require the appropriate tests, inspections, and source records.
