Omega-3 Traceability Record Map: Which Document Supports Each Sourcing Claim?

Traceability claims are stronger when each statement is linked to the record that proves it.

For the broader traceability framework, see Supplement Traceability: Lots, Batches & Records.

Species

Use supplier specifications, identity documentation, or traceability records that identify the biological source.

Geographic Origin

Use records that specifically support harvest region or ingredient origin; do not substitute final manufacturing location.

Supplier

Receiving and supplier-qualification records can establish which approved supplier provided a material.

Lot Connection

Receiving and batch records should connect raw-material lots to finished-product lots.

Manufacturing Location

Facility and production records support where processing, encapsulation, packaging, or final manufacture occurred.

Certification

Use current certificates or official program listings and verify exact scope.

Bottom Line

One sourcing sentence can contain several claims; map each claim to its own evidence.
