GFSI; food defense; traceability; grape.
In search of differentiation and to serve more demanding customers, the Brazilian wine sector can adopt control standards and quality certifications that are not yet implemented in these companies. The present work aims to develop the traceability of the grape used in the manufacture of wines for the implementation of international certification Global Market in a winery situated in Garibaldi, RS, Brazil. For this, the development of a standard protocol for the grapes traceability will be developed. The methodology will be based on records of grape cultivation, quality grape evaluation at the receipt moment and control of grape processing until the time of bottling. These data will be linked with the production record and respective batches. Along the study, the viability of the international certification in this company will be verified.
