What is GFSI all about?

The Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) is the result of collaboration between some of the world’s leading food safety experts from retailers, manufacturers and food service companies, as well as service providers active in the food supply chain.

In May 2000, following a number of food safety incidents, the CEO’s of a group of international retailers identified the need to enhance food safety, ensure consumer protection and to strengthen consumer confidence. The result was GFSI, a non-profit foundation, created under Belgian law, which sets the requirements for food safety schemes.

The benefits of GFSI

GFSI benchmarks existing food standards against food safety criteria and looks to ensure these standards have the same core requirements. This facilitates mutual recognition between the requirements of participating standards thus avoiding duplication of audits.

GFSI recognised standards include the SQF, BRC, IFS and FSSC 22000. These are rapidly becoming the standards for food certification and many food businesses are required to operate food safety to one of the approved schemes.
