Frequently asked questions
What is GFSI and what does the toolkit help with?
GFSI, the Global Food Safety Initiative, is an industry body that benchmarks food safety schemes such as FSSC 22000, BRCGS and GLOBALG.A.P. GFSI itself is not a certifiable standard. The GFSI Intermediate Level toolkit helps food businesses build a structured, intermediate-maturity food safety management system aligned to GFSI principles so they can strengthen controls and progress toward a GFSI-recognised certification.
Is the GFSI Intermediate Level toolkit a certification?
No. GFSI is a benchmarking initiative, not a standard you certify against directly. This intermediate-level toolkit gives you the documented FSMS foundation to raise your food safety maturity and prepare for a GFSI-benchmarked scheme like FSSC 22000 or BRCGS. It suits businesses that are not yet ready for full certification but want to move beyond basic compliance in a structured way.
What is included in the GFSI document templates toolkit?
The toolkit includes editable food safety management system policies, procedures, prerequisite programme documents, forms, checklists, records and risk assessments. Everything is supplied in Word and Excel so your team can customise each document to your products, processes and site, then implement a coherent intermediate-level FSMS that supports your journey toward GFSI-recognised certification.
Who is the GFSI Intermediate Level toolkit for?
It suits South African food businesses that want to move up from basic food safety practices toward a recognised standard but are not yet ready for full FSSC 22000 or BRCGS certification. It is useful for QA teams, food safety coordinators, supervisors and owners who need a structured, editable FSMS foundation aligned to GFSI expectations to build maturity step by step.
Can I upgrade from the GFSI toolkit to a full standard later?
Yes. Because the GFSI Intermediate Level toolkit is built on food safety management system principles that underpin GFSI-benchmarked schemes, much of your documentation and discipline carries over. When you are ready, ASC offers dedicated FSSC 22000, BRCGS, ISO 22000 and GLOBALG.A.P. toolkits, plus training and consulting, to support full certification against a GFSI-recognised standard.
How are the GFSI templates delivered?
The GFSI document templates are delivered digitally, so you receive instant access after purchase with no waiting for shipping. Every document is editable in Word or Excel, letting you start customising your intermediate-level FSMS immediately. For current pricing, request a quote from ASC Food Safety Consultants and we will confirm the cost of the toolkit.
