Pre-Assessment
A PrimuGFS Pre-assessment is a non-scored mock audit designed to assess the level of your preparedness for a certification audit. If this is your first time undergoing a GFSI level inspection, a pre-assessment can be a valuable tool in assessing your readiness for a scored audit.
Audit Scope
The PrimusGFS audit has defined food safety requirements for managing the production, handling, processing and storing of food. PrimusGFS has established acceptable conditions & criteria for these different production stages by defining seven audit modules. The modules are applied based on the type of operation(s) being audited.

Module 3: Indoor Agriculture
