Quality

This is a private technical protocol developed by German, French, and Italian distributors to help suppliers deliver safe products that comply with specifications and current legislation. This protocol requires the prior implementation of a quality management system, a HACCP system based on the Codex Alimentarius, as well as the implementation and management of prerequisites and facilities. It includes all supplier requirements and complies with international requirements (GFSI), providing a clear view of food safety and quality control through supplier assessments, which offer a comprehensive overview of their activities. Objectives: To guarantee the legality, safety, and quality of manufactured products. To establish a common standard with a common assessment system. To ensure the supply of safe products that comply with specifications and legislation, achieving cost reduction and transparency throughout the supply chain. To reduce costs and time for manufacturers and distributors. Ensure transparency and rigor in certification systems. Benefits: Facilitates compliance with applicable legislation. Reduces the costs of potential errors in any production chain. Provides organized communication with all stakeholders. Instills confidence in consumers. Improves documentation. More efficient and dynamic control of food safety risks. Incorporates prerequisite programs into the organization's management system. Saves time and costs by conducting audits in conjunction with other food safety schemes (BRC, Global GAP). Reconciles food safety and quality control.

GLOBALGAP's Integrated Farm Assurance regulations are farm-level regulations that cover the entire production process of certified products, from the moment the plant is in the ground (origin and seed control points) or from the moment the animal is incorporated into the production process, to the final unprocessed product. The objective of certification is to verify good practices throughout the production chain. GLOBALGAP is a set of regulatory documents, consisting of the General Regulations, GLOBALGAP Control Points and Compliance Criteria, and the Globalcap Checklist. The document is divided into five parts: a) Part I: General Information. b) Part II: Rules for Certification Bodies. c) Part III: Producer Group Certification. d) Part IV: Comparative Analysis of Approval. e) Part V: Training Rules. GRASP is a voluntary module developed to assess social practices on farms, addressing specific issues related to worker health, safety, and well-being. It is designed to complement GLOBALG.AP certification through its social aspects.
