Product-specific documentation for approvals and audits

Ingredient sourcing often slows down due to missing or outdated documentation, creating delays during internal approvals and audits.

To address this, all documentation and certifications are managed at the individual product level, ensuring the information you review is relevant, current, and directly applicable to the ingredient being evaluated.

Documentation available exactly when you need it

 Access documentation during approvals, quality checks, or audits — without pre-collecting files or chasing suppliers.

Where to find product documentation

Step 1

Each product page includes a dedicated Product documents tab alongside the product description and attributes.

Step 2

Select Product documents after logging in to view all available certificates and product-specific files for the ingredient.

Step 3

Each document applies specifically to the product, supplier, and origin shown. Click any file to open or download the PDF.

Why documentation is managed at the product level

Documentation is maintained per product rather than as general files across categories or suppliers. This structure reflects how approvals, audits, and regulatory reviews actually work in B2B food sourcing.

By linking documentation directly to each product, you can:

  • Review compliance information more efficiently
  • Reduce back-and-forth during internal approvals or audits
  • Avoid confusion caused by outdated or non-applicable certificates
  • Confidently compare ingredients on a like-for-like basis

The goal is to ensure that the documentation you see accurately reflects the product being offered — at the time you need it.

Certifications & documents you may find

Depending on the product and supplier, documentation under Product documents may include:

Technical data sheets, specifications, safety data sheets, allergen and nutritional information

ISO, FSSC, GMP, HACCP, GFSI standards

Kosher, Halal, Vegan, Non-GMO

HACCP plans, recall and traceability procedures

SMETA / SEDEX reports, CSR statements and environmental policies

Documentation workflows compared

A comparison of how ingredient documentation is typically handled versus product-level documentation designed for approvals and audits.

Traditional approach

Product-level documentation

Request certificates by email Documentation linked directly to each product
Wait for supplier responses Immediately available during approvals and audits
Store documents manually across folders Always relevant to the product, supplier, and origin
Discover missing or outdated documentation late in the process Reduced approval delays and document follow-ups
