Certificate Database
Supplier Certificate Verification
What it does: Searches publicly accessible databases of organic certifications from USDA, EU, BioGro, ACO, and AsureQuality.
How it works:
- Enter supplier's certificate number or operator name
- ANZOC queries certification body databases
- System displays certificate status, scope, and expiry
- Check validity instantly, no account needed
Why this is free: Organic certification data should be publicly accessible. Transparency prevents fraud and builds trust across the industry. It also unlocks innovation and visibility for globally in-demand organic certified products.
Standards supported:
- BioGro NZ (NZ NOS)
- Australian Certified Organic (ACO)
- AsureQuality (NZ NOS)
- USDA NOP and EU Organic operators
Compliance Management Suite
Recipe Assessment Tool
What it does: Calculates the exact organic percentage of your products using official standard formulas.
How it works:
- Enter your recipe with ingredient quantities
- Mark which ingredients are organic
- Select calculation method (NZ NOS, USDA, EU, or Australian)
- ANZOC applies the correct formula including water/salt rules
- Generates compliant label claims
Example calculation (NZ NOS):
| Ingredient | Quantity | Organic? | Calculation Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pea protein | 500g | Yes | 500g |
| Organic cacao | 200g | Yes | 200g |
| Coconut sugar | 150g | Yes | 150g |
| Water | 100g | No | Excluded |
| Salt | 10g | No | Excluded |
Organic percentage: 100% (850g organic / 850g total excluding water and salt)
Label claim allowed: "Certified Organic Vegan Protein Powder"*
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: *ANZOC provides compliance calculation tools but does not certify products. Before making any organic claims on labels or in marketing, you must obtain verification from an MPI-recognised certification body (such as AsureQuality, BioGro, or ACO). All data generated by ANZOC must be verified by these recognised entities before use.
Why this matters: Incorrect organic percentage calculations are one of the most common label compliance issues. Different standards have different rules about excluding water, salt, and calculating compound ingredients. ANZOC gets it right every time.
Recipe Compliance Checker
What it does: Verifies your complete recipe meets organic standard requirements before you create the product.
Checks performed:
- All organic ingredients have valid supplier certificates
- Organic percentage meets threshold for your label claim
- Non-organic ingredients are permitted under the standard
- Processing aids are allowed
- Compound ingredients calculated correctly
Output: Pass/fail report with specific issues flagged and instructions for correction.
Label Claim Validator
What it does: Checks your label compliance against NOS, AU, USDA and EU labelling requirement legislation.
Types of label claims:
| Organic % | NZ NOS Claim Allowed |
|---|---|
| 95-100% | "Certified Organic [Product Name]" |
| 70-94.9% | "Made with Organic [Ingredients]" |
| <70% | Can list organic ingredients only, no organic claim |
Multi-market support: Check different label claims for NZ, Australia, USA, and EU markets from the same recipe.
Automated Checks: Organic seal sizes, colours, orientation, spacing and application of required regulatory information on labels for AU, NZ, US and EU.
Reduces risk: Your product won't be stopped at ports of entry, require relabelling as conventional, destroying or be subject to inquiries or fines due to incorrect label claims.
OPPA 2023 Compliance Documentation
What it does: Maintains your operator approval records and generates compliance reports for certification body audits.
Documents generated:
- Supplier verification reports
- Traceability documentation
- Recipe compliance management
- Audit preparation reports
Why this matters: Under OPPA 2023, every manufacturer and importer of organic products must be an approved operator. Your certification body will audit your compliance annually. ANZOC keeps all required documentation current and audit-ready.
Important: ANZOC prepares compliance documentation but does not provide certification. You must submit all documentation to an MPI-recognised certification body (we recommend AsureQuality, BioGro, or ACO) for official verification before making organic claims.
