Hi Chilly,
GFSI standards tend to do mass balance similar Template 2 except that the mass balance is based on a batch of finished product not a batch of raw material:
Template 2 is to be used for a processing company where the input-output reconciliation focuses on one batch of raw material and all the associated outputs (batches) produced.
These two templates focus on raw materials usage over a period or for a batch. This is something I tend to see for materials with claims such as organic, identity preserved, variety, origin, assured etc.
Kind regards,
Tony
