BRC

Ensuring the quality and safety of food is the primary responsibility of everyone involved in any link in the food chain, and protecting the consumer and increasing their trust is key to long-term business success.

About the Standard

The BRC British Retail Consortium is a globally recognised trading standard. With globalisation, the emergence of larger retail chains and the proliferation of branded products, retailers have recognised the need for harmonised food safety standards throughout the supply chain. The BRC Group standards provide standardisation of quality, safety and performance criteria, ensuring that producers meet their legal obligations and provide high protection for the end consumer. Certification of compliance with the BRC standard is often a fundamental requirement of leading retail chains and manufacturers towards their suppliers for both food and non-food categories. The BRC requires the continuous implementation of the most stringent safety management criteria and thus helps to build trust in the supply chain.
