GFSI Standards and Food Safety Audits May Cause Nightmares

GFSI Standards and Food Safety Audits May Cause Nightmares

Logo

Westminster, CO -- (SBWire) -- 10/23/2013 --Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) standards audits are food safety audits. Failing such an audit means the absence of confidence that the food produced by the failing company is safe. That company should not sell any food until it passes a re-audit to restore a measure of confidence that the food it produces is safe.

In an effort to best capture the process of these food audits, TraceGains wants to hear about “the worst food audit experiences.” According to Gary Nowacki, TraceGains’ CEO, “Telling these stories is cathartic. It allows people at food manufacturers and processors to finally share food audit experiences in a friendly yet anonymous setting. This is the antidote to the audit venom. We encourage and request all food safety and quality professionals to share their stress and nightmare food audit experiences.”

For the next two months, TraceGains will collect food audit horror story submissions and will recognize the top 3 audit horror story submissions with a Kindle Fire HDX 7” tablet.

The deadline for submission is December 18, 2013. Enter at: http://www.tracegains.com/audit-horror-story.html
