Definition

Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) is a private, industry-led initiative that aims to improve food safety, reduce audit duplication, and foster collaboration among food safety experts worldwide. It is not a food safety standard itself, but rather creates the benchmarks for food safety programs. It does so by evaluating and recognizing food safety certification programs, ensuring they meet a set of globally accepted food safety requirements. Some GFSI-recognized certification programs include SQF, BRCGS, IFS, and FSSC 22000
