Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) Certifications

Ensuring food safety is of critical importance to the global food supply chain. Support your organization by implementing a globally-recognised scheme from GFSI.

The Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) consists of key members of the food industry that collaboratively drive continuous improvement in food safety management systems around the world. Food industry leaders created GFSI in 2000 to find collaborative solutions to collective concerns, notably to reduce food safety risks, audit duplication and costs while building trust throughout the supply chain. The GFSI community is composed of the world's leading food safety experts from retail, manufacturing, and food service companies, as well as international organisations, governments, academia and service providers to the global food industry.

With the complex nature of the modern food supply chain, many retailers are insisting that facilities must have GFSI certification to be recognised as an approved supplier.
