Why the gap persists
A risk that is not measured is easy to defer until an incident forces review.
Ground cold-chain evidence gap
The missing record between the catering kitchen and the aircraft door.
Airline catering incidents are difficult to reconstruct when the ground leg is supported by spot checks, memory and fragmented records instead of cart-level evidence. GCCAP frames the gap in practical evidence terms: which cart, which stage, which timestamp, which temperature record and what source record exists.

What the evidence gap page should teach
This page helps airline, caterer, auditor and insurer teams understand why the ground leg needs stronger evidence before an incident forces review.
Incident reconstructionWithout retained cart-level records, investigation depends on incomplete logs and recollection.
Attribution boundaryGCCAP can identify observed stage and evidence confidence; responsibility requires operational/client review.
Regulatory supportEvidence records matter for audit and prescribed controls; GCCAP supports this but does not certify compliance.
Commercial triggerA clear evidence gap creates supplier assurance, insurer review and procurement interest.
