How much does a GMA-SAFE assessment cost?
The invoice you receive from GMA-SAFE shall incorporate all costs associated with your company’s GMA-SAFE Assessment. GMA-SAFE is now responsible to collect all line items within the GMA-SAFE invoice and then make payments to the entity that has performed the work. GMA-SAFE has reduced its fee down from $1000, to $750 for the Food Protection, Aseptic, Spice and Dairy Assessments. The Assessment Fee has been established by GMA-SAFE for all Assessment and is billed at an hourly rate of $168/hr (based on the average cost of assessments performed in 2008). Upon the supplier’s receipt of the GMA-SAFE bid, the auditor’s travel and expense will only be an estimate of the travel costs. The supplier shall be billed the exact T&E determined by the receipts the auditor provided to GMA-SAFE. The Express, Packaging and Warehouse Assessments’ GMA-SAFE fee is $495.
