Across the globe, meals have largely become an "international affair" for consumers. During a typical dinner, a family on either side of the equator can dine on beef from Argentina, lettuce from Columbia, strawberries from Mexico, mushrooms from China, cheese from New Zealand, and spices from Turkey.
In today's global marketplace, consumers are demanding assurances they are purchasing safe and quality food products. Wanting the same assurances, growing numbers of retailers and manufacturers are requiring suppliers to demonstrate their commitment to safe and quality products through audit certification schemes, such as those that are benchmarked and recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI).
Silliker Global Certification Services is an independent subsidiary of Mérieux NutriSciences established to provide clients with certification to many internationally recognized schemes. They are accredited through the Joint Accreditation System of Australia and New Zealand (JAS-ANZ). GFSI schemes currently provided include SQF, BRC Global Standards for Food and Storage and Distribution and FSSC 22000. As SQF's "2010 Certification Body of the Year" award winner, with auditors in almost all food sector categories and through our commitment to practical solutions, we deliver a cohesive approach to help you achieve your Food Safety Management System objectives.
Through Silliker, Inc. we are an approved training body for SQF, BRC, and FSSC 22000.
