Food Safety Certifications, Standards & Compliance

Understanding food safety certifications, standards, laws, regulations, and compliance requirements can be challenging, but essential for effective pest management, product protection, and audit readiness. The definitions below explain these key requirements.

  • Food Safety Certifications: These offer independent verification that a facility or food safety management system meets the requirements of a specific food safety standard.
  • Food Safety Regulations: Legally enforceable rules governing food production, processing, handling, storage, and distribution.
  • Food Safety Standards: These provide established frameworks, requirements, and best practices for identifying and controlling risks throughout the food supply chain.
