Quality, Food and Feed Safety

Quality, Food and Food Safety (QFS) continues to grow in importance as the world becomes more interconnected. Agricultural production has become highly intensive, and supply chains extend across the globe. 

QFS is a foundational pillar of how Bunge operates, and all employees have a responsibility to ensure every partner along our value chains follows safe food and feed practices. From the ingredients we source to the products that reach consumers, we strive to do what’s right every day to protect people, earn customer trust, and deliver quality products. 

Our approach includes risk mitigation, customer-centric problem-solving, regulatory compliance, and analytical excellence in support of consistent product quality and safety across our operations and value chains. We prioritize the quality and safety of the products we sell, upholding best practices from origination through logistics, our production process, and delivery to end customers.  

Bunge’s food-production facilities meet the requirements of Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) audit schemes, such as FSSC 22000, British Retail Consortium and Safe Quality Food (SQF), demonstrating our commitment to continuously improving our food safety management systems and meeting global requirements*.  

The strength of Bunge’s QFS programs is reinforced by our teams’ dedication to making the right decisions, big and small, across our value chains. 

*Over 90% of our facilities hold GFSI certification. 

 

Our Industry Leading Work

QFS is more than a facility or manufacturing plant activity. It is an end-to-end business capability that spans entire value chains and influences thousands of decisions every day. From supplier qualification and raw material compliance to process control, product quality, and regulatory requirements, QFS helps ensure safe and consistent products.  

Bunge is continuously improving its operations to provide the highest level of product quality and safety. That’s why we invest in people and assets – including our world-class innovation facilities - to produce quality products that meet or exceed global regulatory and safety requirements. 

We leverage comprehensive QFS Management Systems and strive to achieve continuous high quality and safety to meet our customers’ expectations, certification, and regulatory needs to protect their valuable brands.
