Upcoming Client Portal

In January of 2024, GFCO will be launching an online portal to allow clients to manage their own product and ingredient entries, and to pull copies of current certificates. Watch for more information in this newsletter as we near 2024, describing the exact launch date, and providing instructions for using the system.

Newsletter Duplicates

Do you sometimes receive this newsletter twice? The reason for this may be the way we track whether the newsletter has been read. If you open the newsletter email, but your email application blocks the images it contains, then the email won’t count as being “opened” unless you allow the images to be downloaded. We then typically re-send the newsletter to all recipients who have not opened it, a week to ten days after the first mailing. To prevent the receipt of these duplicate emails, please allow your email application to download the images in the initial newsletter message.
