Marie‐Claude Quentin outlines the steps that the Global Food Safety Initiative is taking to modernise food safety certification procedures, in particular to address challenges highlighted by the COVID‐19 pandemic.
It would be fair to say that the world of food safety certification has faced one of its biggest challenges over the past few months as the COVID‐19 pandemic led to sudden, significant disruptions in the traditional audit processes. Many certified sites faced the prospect of certificates lapsing as the pandemic spread globally.
- increasing difficulties in attracting and retaining auditors,
- the audit process keeping up to date with technological evolution,
- the slow pace of change in standards at odds with the needs of the food industry,
- maintaining trust from the food industry itself in certification as an effective tool to manage risk in ever more complex supply chains.
As a benchmarking organisation for food safety Certification Programmes (also commonly known as schemes), the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI)[1] has found itself in the eye of this storm and as a direct result has been mandated by its members, some of the larger global consumer goods companies, to design and develop efficient solutions to these challenges and implement them at pace.

建立对食品安全认证的信任
玛丽·克劳德·昆汀（Marie‐Claude Quentin）概述了全球食品安全倡议正在采取的使食品安全认证程序现代化的步骤，特别是应对COVID-19大流行所强调的挑战。
可以说，在过去几个月中，由于COVID-19大流行导致传统审核流程突然严重中断，食品安全认证世界面临着其最大的挑战之一。随着大流行在全球范围内蔓延，许多认证站点面临着证书失效的希望。
- 在吸引和保留审计师方面越来越困难，
- 审核过程与技术发展保持同步，
- 标准变更的缓慢步伐与食品行业的需求背道而驰，
- 保持食品工业本身对认证的信任，将其作为管理日益复杂的供应链中风险的有效工具。
作为食品安全认证计划（也称为计划）的基准组织，全球食品安全倡议（GFSI）[ 1 ]立足于这场风暴，其直接结果是其成员强制要求，其中一些大型全球消费品公司中的一部分，设计并开发有效的解决方案以应对这些挑战，并迅速实施。
