Three Reasons to Become GFSI Food Safety Certified
Aside from the morality of ensuring that your organization avoids contamination in the food supply chain, there are three practical reasons for becoming (and maintaining) certification to one of the GFSI food safety certifications.
- More business. Most retailers now require verifiable food safety certification throughout the food supply chain in order to earn their business. A relevant GFSI certification ("Once Certified, Accepted Everywhere") is a typical requirement.
- FSMA. Under the Food Safety Modernization Act, the FDA has staffed up and become aggressive in unannounced onsite inspections. Being GFSI certified with ready access to food safety expertise can help your organization keep the doors open.
- Liability. The legal industry has now targeted food-related companies as a growth path. Law firms are already specializing in food safety lawsuits. Proof of certification to a GFSI benchmarked standard with properly maintained records and tested recall programs can mitigate legal issues if the worst happens.
