Certification readiness

Show what your food system stands for.

Tell us about your product and production system. This first step is designed to understand your scope, current practices and readiness for a 1health food assessment.

Initial application

Start your certification journey.

This prototype form collects the information needed for an initial fit assessment. It can later be connected to your preferred form service, CRM or backend.

Prototype notice: this static version validates the form but does not transmit data. Before public launch, connect the form to Formspree, Netlify Forms, a CRM, or your own endpoint.

Questions

Before you apply.

Do I need to already hold another certification?

No. Existing certifications may provide useful evidence, but 1health food is intended to assess its own integrated criteria.

Does applying mean I am certified?

No. An application begins the process. Use of the certification mark should only follow a positive conformity decision.

Can a single product be certified?

The final rules should define whether certification is product-, site-, farm- or organisation-based. The readiness review helps identify the appropriate scope.

Can small producers participate?

That is an important design objective. The assessment should remain rigorous while avoiding unnecessary administrative burden, especially for smaller producers.
