Wal-Mart with new food safety standards




(AP) - Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the nation's largest grocery chain, is adopting
new global safety standards for its private label and other foods at a time when
analysts say consumers are more concerned than ever about food safety.
Bentonville, Ark.-based Wal-Mart said Monday it will require audits using
global safety standards at thousands of factories worldwide that produce its
house brands, including Sam's Choice, and other items that don't carry major
brand names.
Wal-Mart said in a statement that it is the first national grocery chain in
the United States to adopt the Global Food Safety Initiative standards for its
private-label products.
Analysts said the move could give Wal-Mart a pro-safety image boost that
would help its grocery business, already one of its strongest sales areas along
with home electronics, pharmacy and the health and beauty aisles.
E. coli outbreaks traced to bagged baby spinach and beef have heightened
consumers' concerns about the food they put on their tables.
"Food safety is at the top of consumers' minds like never before," said Ted
Taft, managing director of Meridian Consulting in Westport, Conn. "There is an
opportunity to stake out a position as a leader."
Wal-Mart said it will require suppliers to be certified by safety programs
under the umbrella of the Global Food Safety Initiative, a group created in 2000
to set common benchmarks for different national and industry food safety
programs.
The retailer said GFSI standards are now widely used around the world
including in Britain and Japan, two countries where Wal-Mart does business.
Wal-Mart spokesman Nick Agarwal said the standards will require factories be
audited for safety in making foods including produce, meat, fish, poultry and
ready-to-eat products like frozen pizza and microwave meals.
"We have always felt strongly about food safety, but nothing ever stands
still," Agarwal said about why Wal-Mart is adopting the new standard.
Under the GFSI program, producers of Wal-Mart and Sam's Club private label
and other foods sold in the U.S. must be audited by independently trained,
approved and licensed auditors who are experts in their industry.
Wal-Mart has published a schedule to suppliers requiring completion of
initial certification between July and December of 2008, with full certification
required by July 2009.
Wal-Mart private label food brands in the U.S. are Great Value and Sam's
Choice. Sam's Club private label food brands in the U.S. include Member's Mark
and Bakers & Chefs.
