VeriPura Core™, tuned for food

Stop port-side food rejections.

VeriPura Food™ is VeriPura Core tuned for food. Agents trained on food import rules, certificates and certifiers check every document against the requirements of any country of origin and any country of destination before the container moves, not at the border. Each consignment gets findings, the fixes it needs, and a record anyone can verify. Use it through our portal, or engage it from your own systems.

Most rejections start as paperwork.

The error usually exists in the documents before the container moves. Found at the border, it costs days at port and tens of thousands of dollars. Found before departure, it costs a corrected document.

What we tuned for food

Nine stages, tuned for food.

VeriPura Food™ runs the same find, check and prove loop as every industry solution built on VeriPura Core™. For food, the 50+ specialist agents are trained on food import and food safety rules, health and phytosanitary certificates, and the bodies that certify food, such as halal and organic certifiers. At the check stage, agents do not rely on the documents alone: they take in inputs from third-party validators and cross-check claims against independent data sources, so each finding rests on an outside source of truth, not only on what the paperwork says.

What we check.

Tuned for food, VeriPura Core can check any food product moving from any origin to any destination, wherever the rules can be obtained. The rules below are examples only.

Border and food safety rules

For example EU 2017/625, FDA FSMA and UK import requirements.

Traceability and deforestation

For example FSMA 204, EUDR and UK forest-risk rules.

Buyer-required certifications

For example halal, organic and kosher, which differ by country and certifier.

Origin and trade documents

For example certificates of origin, preferential origin claims, and orchard or establishment registrations.

Any route, set up on request.

  1. Step 1

    Tell us the route

    The product, its origin and destination, and any certifications your buyers require beyond import regulations.

  2. Step 2

    Core finds the requirements

    The agents identify the HS code, the rules that apply and every document the consignment needs.

  3. Step 3

    Agents trained and checked

    The agents are trained and tested on sample documents for that route, then put to work on it.

Try the food-tuned agents.

Three ways to see the food-tuned agents at work. Sign in with Google, upload a document and see what they find. The same agents are available to your own systems through the API.

Consignment Check

Upload a purchase order. Up to 50 orchestrated agents identify the route, the regulatory framework and every document required. Then drop in your documents, even a whole folder at once. Core reads each file by its content, checks each one and the bundle as a whole, and chases anything missing.

Check a consignment

Label

Upload any food label and validate it against the labeling requirements of any country of destination.

  • Revenue share on every shipmentEarn a share of revenue from every importer client you introduce, recurring rather than a one-off referral fee.
  • Protection from client disputesA verifiable record of every check performed, so you can show the diligence you did when a client faces a border dispute.
  • A broader service offeringPre-shipment document checks become a value-added service for clients sourcing from high-risk corridors.
  • Batch checks across shipmentsCheck many active shipments at once and send client-facing compliance reports automatically.

Questions.

What is VeriPura Food™?

VeriPura Core tuned for food. It checks phytosanitary and health certificates, certificates of origin and analysis, and regulatory declarations against the requirements of any country of origin and any country of destination before a container departs.

How does it relate to VeriPura Core™?

VeriPura Food™ is the industry solution built on VeriPura Core™ tuned for food: the same orchestrated agent engine, with agents trained on food rules, documents and certifiers. Food is where the engine was built and tested first. Other industries, such as cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, have their own tuned editions.

Is VeriPura Core™ patent-pending?

Yes. The orchestration and verification approach is covered under VeriPura's USPTO filing, U.S. provisional patent application 64/088,697. The filing secures our date for later non-provisional and foreign patent filings.

Can our IT team use it directly?

Yes, through our hosted API. Talk to an engineer to discuss what your team needs.

Which documents does it check?

Phytosanitary certificates, health certificates, certificates of origin, certificates of analysis, common entry documents, FDA Prior Notice submissions, fumigation certificates and the other documents the destination market requires.

Which frameworks does it cover?

Any framework for any country of origin and any country of destination, wherever the rules can be obtained, plus buyer-required certifications such as halal and organic. Examples include EU Regulation 2017/625, TRACES NT, FDA FSMA, FSMA 204 traceability, EUDR and UK FRCR.

How does it prevent FDA automatic detentions?

Detentions are usually triggered by documentation errors such as a wrong product code in Prior Notice, a missing field or an authority mismatch. VeriPura checks each relevant field before departure and flags issues while they can still be fixed.

How does it help with deforestation rules?

For beef, soy, cocoa, coffee and palm oil, VeriPura checks due diligence records such as geolocation data and deforestation statements as part of the pre-shipment check, and flags gaps before departure.

What happens when VeriPura cannot check something?

It says so. A missing document is a finding. A register that is offline shows as Not checked, never as a match, and every result shows the date of the data behind it. Your team decides what to do next.

What does a pilot look like?

It starts with one real consignment. We show every rule that applied, what was missing and any red flags. Your team makes the decision. If it's useful, a paid pilot follows in shadow mode, with the fee credited toward a contract.

Start with one consignment.

Send us the documents for one real shipment and we'll show you every rule that applied, what was missing and any red flags. If it's useful, the next step is a paid pilot in shadow mode, with the fee credited toward a contract.
