Global Food Safety Initiative

The Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), an independant non-profit foundation managed by The Consumer Goods Forum, was founded in 2000. It is:

An industry-led initiative that was created following a directive from food business CEOs after several food safety scares led to a loss of consumer confidence.

A benchmarking organisation promoting convergence between food safety standards through a benchmarking process for food safety management schemes. Common acceptance of these by manufacturers and retailers will lead to improved cost efficiency in the food supply chain.

A unique stakeholder platform that brings together food safety experts to network, exchange knowledge and share information on best food safety practices.
