BRC Food Standards Management System

WHAT IS BRC GLOBAL STANDARD?

Originally developed and published in 1998, the British Retail Consortium (BRC) Global Standards specify safety, quality and operational criteria for food producers and suppliers. Used worldwide, the standards are recognised by the GFSI, which aims to reduce the need for multiple supplier audits by harmonising international food safety standards. BRC standards are accepted by many of the world’s largest retail groups, manufacturers and food service organisations, BRC certification provides an international mark of excellence for the certificate holder.

By being certified to BRC Global Standards, it will deliver confidence across the entire supply chain by guaranteeing the standardisation of quality, safety and operational principles. By setting the benchmark for excellent manufacturing practice, they provide assurance to customers that products are safe, legal and of high quality.
