CCOF

Your CCOF organic certificate client profile will now list all facility locations that we inspect as part of your organic certification. For any operation with multiple facilities, this will clearly show buyers which locations are included in your certification. You will no longer need to request custom facility profiles, as your facilities will automatically appear on all client profiles going forward.

We are pleased to see CCOF-certified members working together and producing excellent organic products. We are pleased to announce that, in the last year, CCOF beat all our service performance measurements, and for most of the year, 100 percent of inspection reports were reviewed within 90 days of inspection. Over 90 percent of priority inspections were reviewed within 30 days.

CCOF recognizes and thanks Dr. Joseph Montecalvo upon his retirement from 24 years of organic inspections. A professor of food science at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, Montecalvo has uniquely contributed to the credibility and rigor of methods for organic food processing and handling inspections. Montecalvo’s contributions to the International Organic Inspectors Association—instruction, textbooks, curricular development, and serving on the board—have resulted in widespread benefits to the quality and training of organic inspectors everywhere.
