How do I know which certification is right for me?

GFSI’s motto is “Once certified, accepted everywhere.” Consumer product companies and retailers are expected to
accept any GFSI-benchmarked scheme your facility selects. All GFSI-benchmarked audits meet the same minimum
requirements; however, each scheme-owner adds nuances to make their standards unique.

The audit format, score, rating, frequency, and corrective action timeline differs for each certification scheme. For
example, all certification schemes cover food safety and legality in the scope, but some also include requirements for
product quality.

BRC tends to be very descriptive in their expectations. This can be a good fit for companies who are new to certification
audits as it provides clear direction.
FSSC may be a better fit for companies that want more flexibility in the content of their Food Safety Management
System. This flexibility works when an organization has the skills to document the scientific and legal justification for
their approach.
SQF offers flexibility to start with food safety and legality and then expand with the quality level at a later time.
IFS is a risk-based standard that allows for documented justification, creating the possibility for custom requirements by
site.
