PrimusGFS

PrimusGFS, a private scheme, is a Global Food
Safety Initiative (GFSI) internationally recognized
standard for certification in the agricultural sector.
Products include horticultural, grains and pulses. It
covers all parts of the agricultural sector which
includes ranch, greenhouse, harvest crews, storage
and distribution, cooling/cold storage, packing-
houses and processing.

PrimusGFS is broken into seven modules:
Module 1: Food Safety Management System (FSMS)
Module 2: Farm
Module 3: Indoor Agriculture
Module 4: Harvest Crew
Module 5: Facility
Module 6: Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point
(HACCP)
• Applicable to all Facility Operation
Module 7: Preventive Control (PC)
• Optional to all Facility Operation

Each question in the PrimusGFS checklist has a
score assigned. The overall total score calculated in
the final score must be 100% after corrective action
implementation to receive certification.
