GFSI - Global Food Safety Initiative

As the world’s leading consumer goods companies, we are collaborating across borders and barriers to help ensure safe food for everyone. The Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI; the Coalition) is a Coalition of Action from The Consumer Goods Forum (CGF), bringing together 45 retailers and manufacturers from across the CGF membership and an extended food safety community to oversee food safety standards for businesses and help provide access to safe food for people everywhere.

Around the world, an estimated 600 million people – almost 1 in 10 – fall ill after eating contaminated food each year and concerns over food safety have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. To tackle this, Coalition members are addressing challenges facing food safety systems in their supply chains and the markets they operate in, and are helping to raise the food safety bar globally.

Everyone has the right to access safe, nutritious and nourishing food which is why GFSI’s work is critical to every community across the globe. As one of the world’s largest networks to help achieve safe food, we are committed to making food safety everyone’s business.
