Global Food Safety Standards for the Supply Chain

The food supply has become more global, giving the public access to a wider array of foods.

The independent, non-profit Global Food Safety Initiative has emerged as a way to address the safety and quality of the global food supply. Many leading food companies have achieved certification to a GFSI benchmark standard.

Progressive Grocer invites readers to join executives from Publix, U.S. Foodservice, Tyson and NSF International at 2 p.m. EDT Thursday, May 12, for a 75-minute webcast in which they’ll share their global food safety implementation experiences, challenges and how GFSI has impacted its segment of the food supply chain.
