Certification Updates

& Reminders

 

Enhancements to Your Account Notifications


As part of GFCO’s commitment to ensure that your company receives important notices, GFCO will now be sending these communications to the primary account contact as well as all secondary contacts. This will include notices regarding:


  • Upcoming audits
  • Audit reports
  • Audit non-conformances and requested corrective actions.
  • Termination, Withdrawal or Reduction of certification


While we're expanding our communication to include secondary contacts, we understand that different parts of your organization have distinct roles. If you want specific audit-site or certification notices sent only to certain individuals, consider establishing separate Certification Contracts for each segment of your company that is independently managed. You also have the option to adjust the “primary” or “secondary” status for each of your company contacts. This allows you to ensure the right people get the right information, and to maintain confidentiality where needed.


To ensure continuity in the event of turnover, and to make sure you'll never miss an important notice, GFCO always requires one primary contact and up to four secondary contacts for each account.


Need to adjust or update your contact list? We're here to help. Please reach out to gfco.clientsupport@gluten.org.

Reminder: Your testing data for Q3 2023 was due by October 10th. Please ensure you've sent in your records for ingredients, products, and equipment swabbing to testing@gluten.org.
