Frequently Asked Questions

Strategic answers on GFSI requirements, standard selection, and retailer audit expectations.

Do I legally need GFSI certification to manufacture food in Australia?

GFSI certification (such as SQF, BRCGS, or FSSC 22000) is not a statutory legal requirement under Australian law; statutory compliance is governed by the FSANZ Food Standards Code and state food acts. However, major Australian supermarket retailers (Coles, Woolworths, Aldi, Metcash), tier one quick service restaurant brands, and large food service distributors strictly require GFSI certification as a mandatory condition of supply. If you intend to supply national retail or export channels, GFSI certification is an essential commercial market access requirement.

Can ANFSI conduct the actual GFSI certification audit?

GFSI certification audits must be conducted independently by accredited Certification Bodies (CBs). To maintain total impartiality, accreditation standards strictly forbid consulting organisations from certifying their own clients. ANFSI's role is to act as your technical engineering partner: conducting gap reviews, building your FSMS, coaching your team, and executing pre certification mock audits so you achieve certification smoothly without non conformances.

How do I choose between SQF, BRCGS, and FSSC 22000?

The choice depends on your target customer base and export markets. In Australia, major retailers accept all three benchmarked schemes. SQF is widely adopted across Australia and North America. BRCGS is heavily favored in the United Kingdom and Europe. FSSC 22000 is built directly on ISO 22000 and sector specific PRPs, making it ideal for multinational corporate manufacturing operations already operating ISO management frameworks. ANFSI assesses your export goals and operational setup to recommend the most cost effective standard.
