CertiClean® Certification

Long before the food safety scares of the 1990s, and before third-party auditing became a common industry practice, SCS launched CertiClean, a certification initiative aimed at promoting industry adoption of comprehensive food safety management programs based on HACCP principles. The CertiClean program recognizes outstanding efforts to ensure the safety of food products throughout the chain of custody. Certification has been earned by leading food producers, packers, distributors, and processors of agricultural products; processors and distributors of seafood products; grocery retailers; and restaurants.

CertiClean is a performance-based program. Companies certified to the CertiClean standard must demonstrate compliance to a rigorous HACCP Food Safety Management plan, including quarterly maintenance audits, employee training, and sampling and testing consistent with the relevant crop/food risk level. Such operations must also demonstrate that they meet or exceed applicable local food safety and sanitation-related governmental regulations.

Certified companies receive a Certificate of Achievement, and in addition, are listed in the SCS Supplier Database. Certified suppliers are also entitled to use the CertiClean logo on secondary packaging so wholesale and retail customers can readily identify their products.
