AIB International provides gap assessments for all the GFSI-benchmarked standards including BRCGS, FSSC 22000, IFS and SQF.

Organizations should consider scheduling a GFSI Gap Assessment if they are facing the following issues:

  • Preparing for Certification for the First Time: Facilities seeking GFSI certification for the first time can benefit from a gap assessment to identify and address any gaps in their food safety management system, ensuring they meet all the requirements of the GFSI standard.
  • Upcoming Certification Audit: If a company is preparing for a GFSI certification audit and wants to ensure all aspects of their food safety management system are compliant, a gap assessment can help identify and correct potential nonconformities before the audit.
  • Transitioning to a New Standard Version: Businesses that need to update their processes and documentation to align with the latest version of a GFSI standard can benefit from a gap assessment to ensure they meet all new requirements.
  • Continuous Improvement: Companies aiming to maintain a high level of audit readiness and seeking to identify areas for improvement in their existing food safety management program should schedule a gap assessment. This proactive approach helps in building a culture of continuous improvement and reducing the risk of noncompliance.

Over two days, our auditor will review your documentation and evaluate your plant and established programs and procedures to measure how well your food safety program aligns with your selected certification standard.
