Auditor Certification- GFSI- What’s the best route to gain certification and what company?

Question:
What is the most accredited source for food safety auditor certification within GFSI recognized?

Bouncing back and forth between ASQ and BRCGS, however would like to pursue the best well rounded option for accreditation in the food specific meat industry.

Just looking for suggestions, many suppliers to audit and would like to be accredited to the best certification body. All response are welcomed warmly.

Hi paulam1,

 

You will need to pick a preferred food safety certification standard, I would pick FSSC 22000 or BRCGS Food and then search for reputable providers (examples include DNV, LRQA & SGS IMO) of food safety lead audit training.

 

The Lead Auditor training should be 40 hours training/5 days.

 

You can also look up training on the certification schemes’ websites:

 

FSSC 22000 - Select FSSC 22000 Lead Auditor Course

 

BRCGS Global Standard for Food Safety Issue 9: Lead Auditor

 

Kind regards,
