GFSI - Global Markets Program












In the United States, Kiwa ASI provides accredited certification and auditing services for food manufacturers, feed producers, ingredient suppliers, packaging operations, storage and distribution centers, and primary producers.
Our auditors assess food and feed safety management systems, hazard analysis and preventive control programs, sanitation and environmental monitoring practices, traceability systems, supplier management processes, and regulatory alignment. Certification services support compliance with GFSI-benchmarked schemes and other recognized industry standards frequently required by retailers, brand owners, and international customers.
Kiwa ASI’s certification programs are delivered by experienced U.S.-based auditors with sector-specific knowledge, ensuring evaluations reflect real operational conditions and current regulatory expectations, including alignment with U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) preventive control requirements where applicable.
The U.S. food and feed sector operates under stringent regulatory oversight and increasing supply chain transparency expectations. Certification provides structured verification that organizations have implemented effective preventive controls, monitoring systems, and corrective action processes.
For many U.S. businesses, third-party certification is a prerequisite for supplying major retailers, food service brands, or export markets. It also demonstrates proactive risk management, supports recall preparedness, and reduces vulnerability to safety incidents.
In feed production, certification contributes to protecting animal health, supporting livestock productivity, and safeguarding downstream food supply chains. Independent oversight strengthens trust among regulators, customers, and consumers.
