GFSI and Benchmarking


How does GFSI work?

16

Benchmarks existing food safety schemes, including pre-farm gate schemes against the GFSI Guidance Document.

Determines whether a scheme is equivalent to the Guidance Document requirements.

Helps and encourages food safety stakeholders to share knowledge and strategy for food safety and to develop best food safety practice in a common global framework.

Building Confidence in Certification Through a Robust Guidance Document

A multi-stakeholder document that:

Ø Sets out the requirements for food safety management schemes and thekey elements for the production of food and feed

Ø Provides guidance to schemes seeking compliance with the GFSIGuidance Document and recognition by the GFSI

Ø Defines the requirements for the effective management and control ofconforming schemes

Ø Puts in place transparent procedures for the GFSI benchmarking process

Convergence Means Confidence

18

Benchmarking work was originally carried out on four food safety schemes (BRC, IFS, Dutch HACCP and SQF) to reach a point of convergence.

All schemes were completely aligned with the GFSI Guidance Document Version 5 requirements.

This meant increased confidence in the schemes and comparable audit results.
