Frequently Asked Questions - GFSI Certification Consultant in Hamilton

What is GFSI and why do major retailers require it?

The Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) is a private sector food safety governance initiative that benchmarks and recognizes leading food safety schemes. Major retailers (Walmart, Target, Costco, Loblaws, Metro) require their suppliers to hold a GFSI-recognized certification as a minimum standard, replacing multiple retailer audits with one GFSI certificate.

Which GFSI scheme is right for my business?

The best scheme depends on your customers, market, and product type. SQF is most popular in North America; BRC/BRCGS is required by most UK and EU retailers; FSSC 22000 is preferred internationally and in ingredient/food service sectors; IFS is required by many German and French retailers. We help you choose the right scheme for your customer base.

Can one GFSI certificate satisfy multiple retailers?

Yes - that is the core benefit of GFSI. One valid GFSI-recognized certificate is accepted by participating retailers in lieu of their own proprietary audits, eliminating audit fatigue for your team.

How does Iyarkai help with GFSI certification selection and implementation?

We start with a 1-hour consultation to understand your customers, markets, and operational profile. We then recommend the optimal GFSI scheme, conduct a gap assessment, and run a structured implementation program through to certification.
