An estimated 600 million people are struck by foodborne illnesses each year. For consumer goods leaders, unsafe food results directly in costly recalls, eroded brand trust, and significant long-term financial losses. To counter these risks, the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) mobilises CGF Members to foster continuous improvement in food safety.

We aim for a world where:

• People can have well-founded confidence that the food they purchase daily is safe to consume
• Every business in the food supply chain champions food integrity and safety
• The food safety certification ecosystem works effectively and efficiently
