Can the CHC OFFS Certification help me if I currently need multiple certifications, such as GlobalGAP, certified organic, or others?
Yes. One of the reasons that the CHC chose to outsource the certification function of the CHC OFFS Program to QMI- SAI Global, was to provide more flexibility for those who are meeting different customer requirements and need multiple certifications, but who would like to avoid the cost and inconvenience of multiple audits. In addition to certifying your food safety program, QMI-SAI Global has the capacity to offer multiple certifications within a single visit, for instance if a producer/packer also needs certification to the GFSI standard, GlobalGAP, organic certification or other programs in which QMI-SAI Global auditors are qualified. The CHC is working to eliminate the need for multiple food safety certifications in the future. To assist Canadian suppliers to foreign markets, the CHC will pursue benchmarking of the Canadian OFFS Program to Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) and GlobalGAP standards starting in 2009. The goal is to obtain international recognitions of equivalency.
