TraceGains Uncovers Rationale for GFSI Rigor
Westminster, CO, June 11, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Regardless of where a food manufacturer is currently on a Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) journey, it is imperative to understand the importance of the process, according to Jennifer Brusco, TraceGains’ Marketing Specialist. Brusco discusses the rationale in TraceGains’ recent blog, "GFSI is a Business to Business (B2B) Food Safety and Modernization Act (FSMA) that operates quietly and privately within the marketplace between the customers and their suppliers.”
Karil Kochenderfer, North American representative of the Global Food Safety Initiative, commented in the blog, “Although people look at the GFSI program and see a lot of multinational corporate logos, frankly the majority of our operations are small and medium size facilities at the local level. So we welcome facilities of all natures – large, medium, and small, across the food to fork continuum. Above National Regulation is GFSI Certification, we go above and beyond the science of Codex, HACCP, and national regulation to perform at the highest level of industry. And our benchmarked schemes [eg. BRC Global Standards (BRC), Food Safety System Certification (FSSC 22000), International Featured Standards (IFS)] go beyond us and corporate programs go even further."
Brusco explained that TraceGains has developed four GFSI checklists for the four major schemes that apply to food manufacturers, co-produced with the respective scheme owners to ensure accuracy and usability. The checklists are complimentary and may serve as a great resource on your journey toward GFSI certification.
