GFSI Certification Program(s)

The BRCGS Certification Program is a globally recognized standard for food safety and quality management.

What is a GFSI Certification?

The BRC Global Standard was founded in 1992 with the objective of helping the United Kingdom retailers to work together, share knowledge, and promote the food safety & competitiveness of the retail industry in the country.

Throughout the years BRC has developed standards that cover various sectors of the food industry including Food Safety, Packaging Materials, Storage and Distribution and more. Almost all of these certifications are recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), which means that they are likely to be accepted by most retailers and organizations in the industry.

What elements does a GFSI audit evaluate?

Food Safety and Quality Management Systems, Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP), Site Standards, Product Control, Process Control, Personnel, High Risk Processes and Areas, Traded Products, Environmental Monitoring, and Food Defense.

Please have in mind that some of these elements may not apply to your organization or selected standard.

What are the benefits of a GFSI certification?

BRC certification validates a company’s adherence to top food safety and quality standards, boosting brand image, market reach, and cost savings, while ensuring regulatory compliance and operational efficiency.
