Avoid Potential Audit Deductions
- Mountains of Paper: Extensive spreadsheets and binders are prone to errors and can result in missing or incomplete records.
- Manual Monitoring: Physical forms for direct observations and HACCP delay reporting and miss nonconformances, resulting in ineffective corrective actions.
- Months of Audit Prep: Time-consuming preparation disrupts daily operations, especially when unannounced audits focus on info that isn’t easily accessible.
- Supplier Chaos: Reviewing and analyzing supplier performance is an already resource-intensive task, don’t add GFSI compliance to the headache.
Higher Scores Mean Doing More With Less
In FSQA, managers hear the word “more” a lot. They have more regulatory and customer requirements to meet and more third-party audits to prepare for. FSQA professionals only hear “less” when staffing levels remain the same.
Passing 5 to 50 audits with an over-extended team each year will not change. However, maintaining contracts and growing the business will make it more competitive.
Invest in software that enables the robust compliance management your facility needs to be audit-ready, all the time.

Key Considerations for GFSI
While not required from a regulatory standpoint like FSMA, GFSI is often essential for business with major retailers and manufacturers who see it as the gold standard for food, including Kroger, Amazon, Costco, Tesco, Target, and Walmart.
GFSI reduces the need for additional and duplicate audits from different purchasing companies, helping to prevent audit fatigue that can lead to compliance gaps and oversight errors.
Here are some of the GFSI-recognized certification programs:
- SQF: Unique for integrating a quality component with food safety. Involves a three-step process culminating in comprehensive implementation of food safety and quality management systems.
- FSSC 22000: Utilizes four pillars based on existing ISO standards, including interactive communication and continual improvement to achieve certification.
- BRC Global Standards: The largest scheme, encompassing seven critical sections from senior management commitment to personnel.
- PrimusGFS: Recognized primarily in the Western Hemisphere, covering the entire produce supply chain.
- IFS: Focuses on auditing food manufacturers for safety and quality, organized into six main categories.
- Global GAP: Promotes safe, sustainable agriculture with certification scopes in crops, livestock, and aquaculture.
