Standard directory listing. Buyers see that compliance documents have not been submitted.
Verification is earned through statutory audits, never bought.
We independently evaluate food and beverage producers against Canadian SFCR, US FDA FSMA 204, and Codex HACCP benchmarks. Retail category buyers trust the AgriAssure Verified badge because it reflects confirmed regulatory compliance, not paid placement.
The 3 Supplier Status States
We never mask an unverified brand. Supermarket buyers and distributors clearly identify the exact review stage of every brand on the platform.
Showcase / Unverified
Brands publish their wholesale catalog, packaging sizes, and order minimums. Category buyers clearly see that the profile has not yet undergone regulatory review.
Audit Under Review
The supplier has submitted regulatory records. Food safety specialists conduct gap analysis against SFCR, FSMA 204, and FSVP frameworks with structured feedback.
AgriAssure Verified
The brand has satisfied all deterministic safety benchmarks. The official purple verification badge appears on every product listing, catalog card, and sell sheet.
The 4-Step Verification Roadmap
From initial dossier submission to live badge award, our deterministic review provides clarity at every stage.
Document Intake
The supplier submits facility licensing, corporate registration, Safe Food for Canadians (SFCR) licence numbers, or US FDA food facility registrations.
Specialist Gap Analysis
Food safety professionals examine written preventive control plans and identify compliance gaps. If items require correction, actionable remediation guidance is provided.
Lab & Packaging Validation
Inspection of accredited third-party laboratory Certificates of Analysis (CoAs), allergen separation controls, and Canadian bilingual packaging formatting.
Badge Award & Elevation
Once all deterministic benchmarks are verified, the supplier receives the official AgriAssure purple verification badge across their catalog and live digital sell sheets.
