Who should use AH-DLL GROW

AH-DLL GROW is available for only those individual producers and producer groups who supply fruit and vegetable products either directly or via their suppliers to Albert Heijn in the Netherlands or Delhaize in Belgium.

All producers must hold certification to   Integrated Farm Assurance (IFA) for fruit and vegetables, as the audit builds on existing IFA requirements.

Who should use AH-DLL GROW

How does AH-DLL GROW work

The add-on is composed of principles and criteria (P&Cs) which are all graded as either Major Must, requiring 100% compliance, or Recommendation. The AH-DLL GROW checklist contains dedicated Albert Heijn/Delhaize requirements – 29 P&Cs – that are audited together with those in the Integrated Farm Assurance (IFA) standard for fruit and vegetables.

Which documents are required

  • A.P. general rules specifications: Rules that define how the audit process works, from the scope of the add-on to the audit requirements.
  • Checklist: The full list of P&Cs as used by CB auditors, enabling producers to perform a self-assessment in preparation for the CB audit.
  • Checklist annex: Dutch and Belgian food authority requirements for residue sampling by product type.
How is conformance status verified

Every producer registered in the GLOBALG.A.P. certification system is assigned a 13-digit GLOBALG.A.P. identification number (e.g., a GLOBALG.A.P. Number (GGN)). This number allows real-time verification of conformance status in the GLOBALG.A.P. IT systems , upholding our rigorous transparency requirements throughout the supply chain.

Producers can control data access and privacy rights for audit reports, and the reports are not shared publicly or with third parties. This process is handled via EUROCERT.
