GFSI-recognised Certification Programme Owners

Version 2020
The Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) recognition offers a passport to the global market, both for the recognised CPOs (certification
programme owners) and the companies that they certify. In order to be recognised by GFSI, CPOs must verify that they meet the
Benchmarking Requirements, one of the world’s most widely-accepted benchmark documents for food safety programmes.

These Certification Programme Owners currently have standards benchmarked and recognised against Version 2020 of the GFSI
Benchmarking Requirements.

This document is designed to help you connect your scope with the GFSI-recognised CPOs. You can also use the interactive module on
myGFSI.com at recognition.mygfsi.com > CPOs. Both are updated on a routine basis so be sure to check back regularly.
