BRC Global Standards

BRC Global Standards (BRCGS) is a leading safety and quality certification programme. It is achieved by passing an annual BRCGS audit. The standards are now applied to over 28,000 certificated sites in more than 130 countries. BRC Global Standards have been at the forefront of developing safety standards for more than two decades.

In summary, BRC/BRCGS compliance helps a food business to attract and maintain customers because once a business passes an audit, they can prove to the marketplace their products are safe and legal.
