Tool for Processors & Handlers

The QCS team has developed an exciting new Organic Product Profile template for processors/handlers who are currently applying for or maintaining organic certification with QCS. This Excel workbook is a supplement to the Organic Handler/Processor Plan (OHP) and aims to increase the functionality and user-friendliness of the OHP by allowing producers to organize the requested information – their list of products requested for certification, list of organic ingredients & suppliers, and multi-ingredient product recipes – in one easy-to-update location.
