Whether you are a food processor, 仓库, 分销商或零售商, having a Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) certification is an essential part of doing business across today’s food chain.

Above and beyond regulatory 合规, food businesses at every level want confidence in knowing their partners have a comprehensive and well-managed food safety plan. Particularly with advancements around traceback and pathogen detection, as well as education and awareness among consumers.

第三方GFSI审核, including the Safe Quality Food (SQF) and the British Retail Consortium (BRC) Food Standard, are frequently used to evaluate potential new suppliers and routinely assess current partners. The results and ratings of these audits can have an impact on key decisions about who businesses partner with, which is why it is critically important to have the trained experts familiar with the most recent standards.

These audits take a detailed, holistic approach to evaluate a food safety management system. This includes components such as program design, 合规, 文档, 培训, and an integrated action plan tool. Direct observations by the auditor regarding the implementation of the food safety system is also an important aspect.

As a leading food safety, sanitation and chemical company, this is a priority for our team at PSSI. Third-party audit management is one of the many value-added services included as part of our program to ensure our partners are always audit-ready and positioned for success.

We have our own dedicated Food Safety Department which includes our Field Audit & 支援小组(F).A.S.T) comprised of highly educated and expertly trained regulatory and technical experts, 包括微生物学家, mg线上电子游戏, 法规遵从性专家, and even certified GFSI practitioners. 今年, the team supported 366 GFSI audits within our customers facilities reporting an incredible 99.7 percent pass rate of the audits.

Our company achieves this level of success by developing and managing customized Food Safety and Sanitation Plans that align with the most up to date GFSI standards across the following key areas:

When it comes to GFSI standards, there are essential needs but not necessarily one area that carries more weight. 这是一个完整的, holistic evaluation of how these various areas work together to achieve the highest level of food safety protection. Therefore, it is important to have centralized management.

在评级之上, it is also about corrective action plans and how you plan to fix deficiencies in a timely manner. A misstep in just one small area could put your business at risk for not passing or losing a third-party GFSI certification.
