Sheet: Global Markets Addendum

Name of Auditee:
Date of Audit:
Note:  The questions in this section are not official questions associated with the Produce GAPs Harmonized Food Safety Standard.  These additional questions are used to show conformance to the Global Markets Program for Primary Production Basic or Intermediate Level Assessment.  Farming or packinghouse operations should check with their buyers to verify whether or not conformance with these questions is necessary in order to be an approved supplier.  This addendum will only be assessed at the specific request of the auditee.  Several of the questions in this section are similar to questions in the Harmonized Audit, however due to slight differences in the requirements of the two standards, the Global Markets questions shown below were developed to verify conformance to the Global Markets Assessment.
The Global Markets Capacity Building Program for Primary Production has two levels, Basic and Intermediate.  For the Basic level audit, only those questions identified as basic need to be answered (Intermediate level questions should be marked N/A). For the Intermediate level audit both the basic AND intermediate questions must be answered.  A copy of the complete Global Markets Primary Production Assessment can be obtained on the Global Food Safety Initiative website at www.mygfsi.com.
