Food safety system  

Suppliers, 

Direct Operations 

We assess the percentage of owned and supplier facilities certified to a GFSI-recognised scheme, disclosure on audits and corrective actions and food safety innovation.  

Best practice is awarded when a company has 100% of its owned facilities Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI)-certified, and 100% of its suppliers certified. The company must also disclose the frequency of audits and corrective action rates due to non-conformance. Finally, it must develop food safety innovations that provide consumers with traceability. 

Product recalls and market bans  

N/A 

We assess the level of detail and disclosure around product recalls, bans, the company’s product recall system and their mitigation measures.  

Best practice is awarded when a company describes its product recall system in place and discloses the number of recalls and market bans in the reporting year, including information on corrective actions.
