McCain Foods India, a leading name in the frozen foods industry and the country’s top brand for frozen French fries, has achieved the prestigious Global GAP certification. This milestone underscores the company’s dedication to food safety, sustainability, and responsible agricultural practices while reinforcing its strong partnerships with growers.
What is Global GAP Certification?
Global GAP certification sets internationally recognized standards for safe and sustainable farming, focusing on key areas such as food safety, environmental sustainability, and worker welfare. By securing this certification, McCain Foods India has further solidified its commitment to responsible sourcing, aligning with its ambitious goal of achieving 100% regenerative agriculture practices by 2030.

Over the past eight years, the company has actively implemented McCain Good Agricultural Practices (GAP), with 95% of its growers now adhering to these stringent standards. In 2024, McCain voluntarily underwent a Global GAP audit with select growers and successfully passed on its first attempt—an impressive feat that highlights the brand’s unwavering commitment to excellence.
