A Culture of Food Safety: Position Paper from the Global Food Safety Initiative

Publication
Food Safety Culture

This second edition of the GFSI Position Paper refines the global framework for food safety culture by incorporating the latest academic research and stakeholder feedback since 2018. It clarifies GFSI’s role as a benchmarking entity that defines the “what”—the core dimensions of food safety—while leaving the “how”—the specific tools and implementation methods—to industry specialists and individual businesses.
