  • Improve food safety
  • Reduce waste
  • Showcase your performance

If your organization is a food business, whether it’s involved in milling flour or selling sandwiches, BRC Global Standard for Food Safety certification can help you show your customers that you meet internationally-agreed standards.

The BRC Global Standard (BRCGS) for Food Safety provides a framework that lets you manage product safety, integrity, legality and quality, as well as their operational controls. 

Designed to protect consumers, BRC Global Food certification demonstrates to your customers that your product safety systems are robust, thereby giving them confidence that you’re supplying high-quality products that are safe and legal, and ensuring they come back again and again.

Focus

Any food business, from primary processors like abattoirs, flour mills and dairies to retail processing and packing companies.


What you need to know

Developed by experts in the food industry, the BRC Standard has continuously evolved since being established in 1998, so the rigorous and detailed requirements are understandable and relevant. So far, 18,000 suppliers in more than 100 countries have been certified.

The BRC Standard has seven sections:

1. Senior management commitment and continual improvement – including providing adequate resources, effective communication and opportunities for improvement

2. The food safety plan (HACCP) – based on the requirements of the Codex Alimentarius system

3. Food safety and quality management system – including requirements for product specifications, traceability, and the management of product recalls.

4. Site standards – requirements for production, including cleaning, pest control and maintenance

5. Product control – covers design and development, including inspection and testing

6. Process control – including equipment calibration, safe process controls and weight/volume control

7. Personnel – including staff training and personal hygiene

Kiwa came with a personal recommendation from some of our customers as the preferred auditing body. This proved to be an excellent choice and all auditors have been professional, enthusiastic and come with a good measure of common sense! We have also used Kiwa for pre-BRC audits that we use as training exercises. I would thoroughly recommend the latter to aid the development of deputies. – Julia Potter, Technical Manager, T.S.
