In March 2020, GFSI published a new version of the GFSI Benchmarking Requirements, the reference document setting expectations for GFSI-recognized Certification Program Owners, such as SQF. A number of key elements (clauses) were added or modified with this version, some that were included within edition 9 of the SQF Food Safety Codes.
The objective of this online survey is to measure the impact of some of those changes on your business or organization, and on food safety.
Your answers to this survey will provide GFSI with a valuable indicator of how version 2020 of the GFSI Benchmarking Requirements contribute to their purpose of safe food for consumers, everywhere.
Note: The survey will close on June 1, 2022.
With Edition 10 audits arriving as early as Jan. 2, 2027, sites that start closing gaps today will walk into their audit with far more confidence than those scrambling at the end of 2026.
SQF Food Safety Code Edition 10 is now available, and it marks more than a routine update to the Code.
As we move toward the launch of SQF Edition 10 in early March, one message is clear. Food safety is no longer evaluated only through programs, procedures, and records.
