1. Identification of key food safety criteria in a Standard

2. Common procedures to verify implementation of Scheme by 3rd parties (accreditation & certification)

Benchmark & Recognition= Equivalence

Provides framework for the recognition of food safety schemes

Schemes successfully benchmarked and recognized have a common foundation of requirements, which should provide consistent results when applied

Carried out in an independent, unbiased technically proficient and transparent manner through an internationally recognized process

Benchmarked schemes are NOT identical because they differ in terms of level of prescription and specifics

Work of Storage & Distribution Work

Key Elements:

• Define key elements for Scope J- Transport and Distribution (Perishable & Ambient)

• Key elements under three sections: Food Safety Management Requirements Good Agricultural / Good Manufacturing/ Good Distribution Practices HACCP


S&D Working GroupImportant Considerations:• WG did NOT write a ‘standard’ but identified the

key elements/best practices and acceptance criteria for S&D

• WG members represented an industry sector not their organisations or their own interests

• The criteria are “best practice” • Wherever possible WG used existing format and

previous GFSI work• WG also considered issues that impact the sector

and provided recommendations to the GFSI Board:• Quality • Auditor competence• Multisite certification


S&D Work

• WG Finalized Key Elements for Storage & Distribution

• Key Scope Elements was put for public comment globally

• WG considered comments and finalized AFTER review of all comments

• Key Elements for S&D was approved by the GFSI Board

• Publish in 2013 • Standards Benchmarking in Fall


Why important?• GFSI Certification is the best recognition that a

food company meets best food safety practices• US Foods requirement for Private Label since 07

(>1200 facilities in ~ Countries)• Customers are requiring certification• Governments are recognizing its value

ResultsU of Rostock in Germany, U of Arkansas in US and others validated certification value* including:

• 17 % reduction in food recalls vs. non certified• 27% reduction in FS & QA complaints• 51% reduction in regulatory findings• 40 % reduction in product error/defect rates

A Distributors’ Perspective


US Foods Experience with GFSI Certification

and Regulatory Compliance and bottom line Risk
