Enhanced claim validation

1. A computer-implemented method comprising: automatically certifying using one or more processors, whether a product satisfies a claim, further comprising:

establishing a data collection interface between a first supply management device and a transaction database, the data collection interface providing the transaction database with access to identification data and event data, the identification data uniquely identifying the product, and the event data relating to a feeding process associated with the product,

receiving a product tracking request for formatted identification data or event data from a second supply management device, and

establishing a data conversion interface between the second supply management device, and the identification data or the event data, the data conversion interface providing the second supply management device with access to the identification data and/or the event data, according to the product tracking request; and

outputting a result of the automatic certification.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the claim is a genetically modified (GM)-free claim or an organic claim.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein outputting the result further comprises displaying whether an animal was fed genetically modified feed or feed made partial from animal protein components, or whether a diet of the animal was limited to organic products.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein automatically certifying whether the product satisfies the claim further comprises automatically determining whether the product satisfies regulatory restrictions.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein automatically certifying whether the product satisfies the claim further comprises causing a third party to certify the product as being genetically modified (GM)-free or organic.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the event data uniquely identifies a particular feed lot or a feeding session.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein automatically certifying whether the product satisfies the claim further comprises comparing the event data to a supply record.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein automatically certifying whether the product satisfies the claim further comprises linking contaminated feed to specific animals or groups of animals.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

encrypting and decrypting the event data; and

performing an authentication operation on the second supply management device,

wherein the data conversion interface is established based on successful performance of the authentication operation.

10. A computer program product, tangibly embodied in a machine readable storage medium, the computer program product comprising stored instructions that, when read by a machine, operate to cause data processing apparatus to:

automatically certify using one or more processors, whether a product satisfies a claim, further comprising:

establishing a data collection interface between a first supply management device and a transaction database, the data collection interface providing the transaction database with access to identification data and event data, the identification data uniquely identifying the product, and the event data relating to a feeding process associated with the product,

receiving a product tracking request for formatted identification data or event data from a second supply management device, and

establishing a data conversion interface between the second supply management device, and the identification data or the event data, the data conversion interface providing the second supply management device with access to the identification data and/or the event data, according to the product tracking request; and

output a result of the automatic certification.

11. The computer program product of claim 10 , wherein the claim is a genetically modified (GM)-free claim or an organic claim.

12. The computer program product of claim 10 , wherein outputting the result further comprises displaying whether an animal was fed genetically modified feed or feed made partial from animal protein components, or whether a diet of the animal was limited to organic products.

13. The computer program product of claim 10 , wherein automatically certifying whether the product satisfies the claim further comprises automatically determining whether the product satisfies regulatory restrictions.

14. The computer program product of claim 10 , wherein automatically certifying whether the product satisfies the claim further comprises causing a third party to certify the product as being genetically modified (GM)-free or organic.

15. The computer program product of claim 10 , wherein the event data uniquely identifies a particular feed lot or a feeding session.

16. The computer program product of claim 10 , wherein automatically certifying whether the product satisfies the claim further comprises comparing the event data to a supply record.

17. The computer program product of claim 10 , wherein automatically certifying whether the product satisfies the claim further comprises linking contaminated feed to specific animals or groups of animals.

18. The computer program product of claim 10 , wherein the computer program product further comprises instructions that, when read by a machine, operate to cause data processing apparatus to:

encrypt and decrypt the event data; and

perform an authentication operation on the second supply management device,

wherein the data conversion interface is established based on successful performance of the authentication operation.

19. A device comprising:

a processor configured to automatically certify whether a product satisfies a claim, further comprising:

establishing a data collection interface between a first supply management device and a transaction database, the data collection interface providing the transaction database with access to identification data and event data, the identification data uniquely identifying the product, and the event data relating to a feeding process associated with the product,

receiving a product tracking request for formatted identification data or event data from a second supply management device, and

establishing a data conversion interface between the second supply management device, and the identification data or the event data, the data conversion interface providing the second supply management device with access to the identification data and/or the event data, according to the product tracking request; and

an interface configured to output a result of the automatic certification.

20. The device of claim 19 , wherein the claim is a genetically modified (GM)-free claim or an organic claim.

21. The device of claim 19 , wherein, in outputting the result, the interface is further configured to display whether an animal was fed genetically modified feed or feed made partial from animal protein components, or whether a diet of the animal was limited to organic products.

22. The device of claim 19 , wherein, in automatically certifying whether the product satisfies the claim, the interface is further configured to automatically determine whether the product satisfies regulatory restrictions.

23. The device of claim 19 , wherein, in automatically certifying whether the product satisfies the claim, the processor is further configured to causing a third party to certify the product as being genetically modified (GM)-free or organic.

24. The device of claim 19 , wherein the event data uniquely identifies a particular feed lot or a feeding session.
