Wal Mart suppliers to all be GFSI accredited
6th February 2008 by Alex Briggs
Wal-Mart, the world’s largest retailer, said GFSI standards provide real-time details on where suppliers fall short in food safety on a plant-by-plant basis, and go beyond the current audit process required by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Under the GFSI program, producers of Wal-Mart’s private label and other foods sold in the United States must be audited by independently trained, approved and licensed auditors who are experts in their industry, the retailer said.
