Sanctions and Non-ConformanceThe group must operate a system <strong>of</strong> sanctions and non-conformance with their producers that meets GAPrequirements in individual contracts. Records must be maintained <strong>of</strong> all sanctions, including evidence <strong>of</strong>subsequent corrective actions and decision-making processes.M. Withdrawal <strong>of</strong> Certified ProductThere must be documented procedures in place to effectively manage the withdrawal <strong>of</strong> registered productsas well as procedures that identify the types <strong>of</strong> event which may result in a withdrawal, persons responsiblefor taking decisions on the possible withdrawal <strong>of</strong> product, the mechanism for notifying customers and theGAP’s approved certification body and methods <strong>of</strong> reconciling stock.N.
