Food and Feed Certification

Kiwa helps organizations achieve certification across the food and feed value chain through a comprehensive range of services, including: 

• Food safety management system certification (e.g., ISO 22000, FSSC 22000)
• Supply chain and retailer standards (e.g., BRCGS, IFS, SQF)
• Agricultural and primary production certification (e.g., GlobalG.A.P.)
• Feed safety and quality certification (e.g., GMP+)
• HACCP-based risk management verification
• Sustainability and traceability certification programs 

Food and feed certification is an independent, third-party verification that processes, systems, or products meet defined standards for safety, quality, and compliance. 

Certification typically involves audits, documentation review, and on-site inspections to assess compliance across the entire supply chain, from raw materials to finished products. 

Kiwa provides assurance on: 

• Food safety and hygiene practices
• Compliance with regulatory and industry standards
• Traceability and supply chain transparency
• Risk management and hazard control (e.g., HACCP)
• Product quality and consistency

Food and feed safety is critical to protecting consumers, maintaining public trust, and ensuring regulatory compliance. Without proper certification and controls, organizations face risks such as: 

• Food safety incidents and product recalls
• Non-compliance with regulations and retailer requirements
• Supply chain disruptions and lack of traceability
• Damage to brand reputation and consumer trust
• Barriers to market access and international trade 

Certification provides independent assurance that organizations meet recognized safety and quality standards, enabling them to operate confidently in global markets. 

It also supports transparency and accountability across increasingly complex supply chains.
