Food Safety Leadership Council

I posted an open question to the Fresh Produce Industry Discussion Group recently about the buyer led Food Safety Leadership Council. So far, I haven't seen a lot of reaction from the group about the on-farm food safety standards that have been published by the council and distributed to suppliers. One industry spokesman described the document - I'll post it later to the discussion group - as the leafy greens marketing agreement standards "on steroids." My questions, which I also pose to Fresh Talk readers, are these:

Will there be further refinement of the standards? How soon does the group want suppliers to implement the standards? Will buyers in the council buy only from suppliers who conform to document? Thoughts and other issues?

Can someone please explain the difference or similarity between the recent Wal-Mart news on GFSI and the FSLC? Are they still adopting FSLC? Haven't heard much about those standards.
