We have a deep understanding of and appreciation for the role that everyone from farmers to families play in keeping food safe.   We have a single systems approach to food safety management for all of our businesses, across all geographies.   To meet the one global systems approach principle:

• We apply the standards and principles of Codex Alimentarius, the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) principles, and the International Plant Protection Commission (IPPC) principles for plant health issues. These systems are based on prevention, intervention and response to enhance public health. (We could insert links to these organizations)
• We implement these standards and principles through programs, such as good hygiene protocols, and the Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points (HACCP) systems.
• Our food safety practices will be continuously updated based on what we learn through our own efforts, our industries, customers, the scientific community, and others in the food supply chain.   Cargill's goal is that all of our human food production facilities with achieve GFSI-benchmarked certification by 2014, and all Cargill grain handling and animal feed facilities will be certified by 2015.
