GFSI Certification – Global Food Safety Assurance
What is GFSI Certification?
GFSI (Global Food Safety Initiative) Certification is not a certification itself, but a global benchmark for food safety management systems. It recognizes and approves internationally accepted food safety standards such as BRCGS, IFS, SQF, FSSC 22000, and others that meet GFSI requirements.
Achieving certification to a GFSI-recognized scheme demonstrates that your business is committed to producing safe, high-quality food that meets global regulatory and customer expectations.
