The certification was issued by Bureau Veritas, a global leader in Testing, Inspection, and Certification (TIC) services. Bureau Veritas supports organisations by helping businesses demonstrate compliance, build trust, and strengthen accountability to consumers and stakeholders.
“FSSC certification is one of the most comprehensive food safety schemes globally, requiring strong governance, risk-based controls, and continuous improvement,” said Cyprian Kabbis, Country Chair for Bureau Veritas in Kenya, Tanzania & Rwanda.
“It demands robust governance and strict risk management. Farmer’s Choice has demonstrated a strong sense of responsibility in its food safety systems and a genuine commitment to protecting consumers,” he added.
