Food safety : look beyond the regulatory requirements

For companies in the agri-food or packaging sector, obtaining certification recognized by the GFSI (Global Food Safety Initiative) is often a prerequisite. FSSC, BRC, and IFS certifications cover food safety, site protection against intentional malicious acts, and the risks of fraudulent or adulterated inputs. But it is the ISO 2000 standard that provides a comprehensive approach through a management system.

Strengthening food integrity, i.e., all aspects that help prevent acts that affect food safety or quality, also requires an approach based on organizational culture. This is what Food Safety Culture is all about. 

Feedback from health crisis analyses indicates that without a strong food safety culture, any company remains vulnerable to human error. Food safety is therefore not just a matter of analyses and methods.

Extend your efforts in food safety to the areas of the environment and CSR: wherever you are in the food chain, from producer to restaurant owner, you can display your commitment to reducing food waste with the Anti-Food Waste label. 

Wholesale market operators and traders wishing to structure their CSR approach and promote their commitments will look to the Sustainable Market label.
