GFSI AusNZ

The Global Food Safety Initiative has established a local group in Australia and New Zealand. The food industry in the region has a strong agricultural base, a ‘clean and green’ reputation, and a long association with GFSI through Technical Working Groups and the GFSI Conferences. The formation of the GFSI AusNZ local group will formalise that relationship and assist in establishing GFSI initiatives across the local industry, while addressing local issues.

Interest in the Local Group has been substantial. Fifty local industry members have expressed interest in participating in GFSI Local Group activities and working groups, including manufacturers, buyers, regulators, industry organisations, certification and accreditation bodies, and CPOs.

What we do

The Local Group is focusing on three strategic priorities in 2019:

Increased awareness of the strategies and benefits of GFSI through events and education

Capability building for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) in primary production and manufacturing through the promotion and adoption of the Global Markets Programme

Engaging with state and federal food safety authorities to promote public-private-partnerships

Who is Involved

The Steering Committee is now implementing the operating plan for 2019. It comprises the two largest regional retailers, a QSR, primary producer, and some of the major regional manufacturers:
