Once certified, recognised everywhere.
Building consumer trust starts with robust food safety.
The GFSI Benchmarking Requirements (BMRs) version 2024 facilitate a common understanding and mutual trust throughout the food supply chain.
Developed in collaboration with a diverse range of stakeholders – from Retailers and Manufacturers to Certification Bodies and Academia – the BMRs represent the world’s most widely accepted benchmark for food safety certification programmes.
GFSI recognition, based on BMR alignment, unlocks access to the global marketplace for both Certification Programme Owners (CPOs) and their certified companies.
Apply now for BMR v2024 recognition. New resources are available to support your journey.
