GFSI stands for Global Food Safety Initiative. It is an industry-driven initiative. It offers guidance about food safety management systems. The management systems are very important for food safety along the supply chain. GFSI ensures that food facilities process safe food for consumers. It generally reviews three things, including policies and procedures of suppliers, observing process of suppliers and reviewing their records. Major retailers and manufacturers demand their suppliers to comply with GFSI Audit Schemes to ensure safe and quality food.
GFSI approved food safety standards are SQF, BRC, IFS, FSSC, GLOBALG.A.P., BAP, PrimusGFS and CanadaGAP. These global standards are applicable for food, packaging materials, storage, packaging and distribution for producers, manufacturers and distributors.
Brand Reputation Compliance (BRC) is an International Food Safety Management Systems standard. It is one of the certification schemes recognized by GFSI. BRC Global Standard lets your brand earn worldwide recognition for food safety, quality and responsibility. As a good packager, food distributor, and food processor, renewing your BRC Global Standards Certification annually is important.

Safe Quality Food (SQF) is a credible food safety and quality program, recognized by GFSI. The SQF standard ensures quality safety processes are fully met in the food chain right from suppliers to food industry processors and from distributors to consumers. Benefits of obtaining SQF Certification include increased consumer confidence in your products, greater opportunities with new markets and clients and an enhanced brand and corporate image.
