The sector that has been re-approved by GFSI as of December 14, 2021 is "CIV (processing of products stored at room temperature)", and the status of GFSI approval for the sector covered by JFS-C Ver. 3.0 will be announced in the JFSM member newsletter and on the JFSM website.

Since the establishment of JFSM in 2016 by the Preparatory Committee for the Promotion of Food Safety Management with the participation of 45 major food companies in Japan, JFSM has grown and developed JFS-C, one of the food safety management standards developed and managed by JFSM, as the first food safety management certification standard originating from Japan and Asia, with the first approval by GFSI in October 2018.

As a Certification Program Owner (CPO) in Asia, we will continue to strive to provide a standard and certification system that is easy to understand and implement, allowing food business operators to step up to international standard food safety management regardless of their business scale.
