There are many different food safety certifications that incorporate HACCP requirements but are (often) more comprehensive and specific than Codex HACCP. These programs are often referred to as a Food Quality Management System (FQMS) and The Gourmet Guardian have written Food Quality Management Systems to meet the requirements of many of these standards including:
  • FSSC 22,000;
  • BRC (British Retail Consortium);
  • Costco Supplier Requirements;
  • Woolworths Supplier Excellence Program;
  • Spotless Food Safety Standard For Australian Suppliers;
  • Supplier specific requirements. To date we have had programs approved by Major Blue Chip companies including Fonterra, Simplot, Heinz, Kraft, Cadbury Schweppes, SPC, Coca-Cola Amatil, Tatura Milk, Mondelez Australia, Lion Dairy and Drinks, MARS Pet Care and Kelloggs.

NOTE: Many of these standards are referred to as GFSI Standards (or Global Food Safety Initiative).

Other standards that we are familiar with and can prepare a Food Quality Management System for include:
  • Freshcare;
  • SQF (Safe Quality Food);
  • Coles Supplier Requirements;
  • Coles Food Manufacturing Supplier Requirements.

The Gourmet Guardian have also written Food Quality Management Systems to comply with Australian and New Zealand regulators including:
  • PrimeSafe;
  • Safe Food Production Queensland;
  • Dairy Food Safety Victoria (DFSV);
  • NSW Food Authority (for Vulnerable Person businesses);
  • (Australian) Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment (for businesses that export food from Australia);
  • Approved Food Safety Templates for the Department of Health (Victoria);
  • Ministry for Primary Industries (New Zealand).
