GLOBALG.A.P. programs recognized by GFSI

The Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) has recognized two programs of GLOBALG.A.P. North America (GGNA): its Integrated Farm Assurance and Produce Safety Standard.

GLOBALG.A.P. offers North American produce growers three general use standards. The Integrated Farm Assurance (IFA) standard, the Produce Safety Standard (PSS) and the Primary Firm Assurance (PFA).

“We are very committed to meeting our growers’ supply chain requirements, and welcome the re-benchmarking of IFA and the first recognition of PSS by GFSI,” said Thomas Fenimore, GGNA’s executive vice president. “GLOBALG.A.P. offers growers in the USA and Canada a range of standards to meet their certification needs, and the requirements of their customers, for the domestic and international markets. GFSI recognition further enhances our innovative product line by meeting retailer benchmarking expectations. We appreciate the recognition of our standards by retailers and foodservice providers.”
