Before a jar of honey can legally cross a border, a batch has to clear a sequence of food-safety and quality checkpoints. This simulation models an export certification line as a conveyor: honey batches roll past three checkpoints modelled on real schemes — Codex Alimentarius (the international baseline quality standard), ISO 22000 (a HACCP-based food safety management system), and, if required, organic certification (EU/USDA-style residue limits) — before reaching final export clearance.
Codex Alimentarius — jointly run by the FAO and WHO — has no legal force on its own, but the WTO's SPS Agreement treats it as the reference standard, so most national honey import rules are written to match or exceed it.
Honey batches roll along a 3D certification line through Codex Alimentarius, ISO 22000 HACCP and organic certification checkpoints, splitting into certified export crates and rejected lots as you adjust real batch parameters.
Each checkpoint tests one measurable property against the limit that standard actually specifies — moisture against Codex's cap, a HACCP risk score against a critical control point, and pesticide residue against the far stricter organic threshold.
Adjust the moisture, contamination-risk and pesticide sliders to change the incoming batch quality, toggle organic certification on or off, and watch how the pass rate at each gate — and the final export tally — shifts in real time.
Codex Alimentarius itself carries no legal force, but the WTO's Sanitary and Phytosanitary Agreement treats it as the reference standard, so most countries write their honey import rules to match or exceed it.
