BRC – CERTIFICATION BY THE BRC
BRC – Certification by the BRC Packaging and Packaging Materials Standard, is a leading global brand and the first Standard in the world to be recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GSFI) benchmarking committee. And it was designed to help retailers and brand owners produce food products safely and of consistent quality, which would help with a ‘due diligence’ defence, should they be subject to a prosecution by the enforcement authorities. (Under EU food law, retailers and brand owners have a legal responsibility for their brands). There are now over 20,000 certificated suppliers in over 100 countries and a network of more than 90 Accredited and BRC recognized Certification Bodies.
