Your gateway to growing your business
The BRCGS Food Safety certification is the industry benchmark for food safety best practices. Recognised by Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), it offers global credibility and many retailers, manufacturers, and food service companies will require a third-party food safety certification such as BRCGS as part of their supplier approval process.
Is the BRCGS Food Safety suitable for my business?
If your business handles open food products such as washing, cutting or manufacturing etc., then you could make a strong business case for your business in obtaining a BRCGS Food Safety certification. Our BRCGS Food Safety clients are often:
-
Food Manufacturers - Raw material and ingredient suppliers
- Retail packers
If you are working with or wishing to work with any major retailers, wholesalers, agents, brokers and food service chains, BRCGS certification is often required as part of a supplier approval process to ensure the product is produced in a safe and hygienic environment.
