British Retail Consortium (BRC) Food Services
Food safety is of paramount importance. The demands for the British Retail Consortium (BRC) Global Standard Food Issue 5 are high, and with good reason.
Food poisoning and contamination incidents have caused the recall of products and even in some cases the death of consumers. If the requirements of the BRC Global Standard Food Issue 5 are not understood, implemented, and embraced by all parties involved, not only is the quality of the product at risk, but also your reputation and brand value.
The BRC standard is an internationally recognized standard for food manufacturers aimed at assisting them in producing safe, quality products. By implementing this Standard, you will have established a recognized system to assist in the avoidance of recall, incorporate some of the required elements needed to prove a “Due Diligence” defense was taken, and your company will ultimately be registered in a database used by many global retailers to evaluate suppliers for future business opportunities. We are UKAS accredited to carry out a full scope of audits for Food Safety, Issue 5.

- Third party auditor training
