BRCGS (British Retail Consortium) is a protocol designed to harmonize food safety standards across the entire production chain. This scheme is focused on building trust and security across the supply chain.

BRCGS Food certification is a way of communicating to customers that your products follow strict safety and quality standards.

The Food Safety standard is the flagship scheme of the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) and the most widely accepted by specifiers, brands, and retailers.

Manufacturers with BRCGS certification have many food safety benefits and have been shown to perform better than non-certified sites as well as those with other GFSI programs.

A clear point of difference between BRCGS Food Safety and other certification schemes is a compliance program that provides control over the operational delivery of its certification programs. This includes managing delivery partner performance and managing auditor competency based on food safety examinations and training.

We currently offer certification for the START! and Food Safety standard in partnership with APCER Brasil.
