Expert BRC Audits and Comprehensive GFSI Compliance Services

Our registered BRC consultants and qualified BRC auditors specialize in providing tailored support. Whether you need assistance integrating within your existing QA team or leading a project, we can guide you through the implementation of a robust food safety and quality management system aligned with GFSI benchmarked standards including BRC Global Standards, FSSC 22000, and IFS Global Food Safety Standards.

If you are already certified to one of these standards then we can help you maintain and improve your compliance, through our service of internal auditing of your systems and procedures, against the precise requirements of these standards. We have helped all of our clients improve, or maintain the highest BRC audit grades, by offering such an expert internal auditing service.

About the GFSI Standards

In the year 2000, the GFSI was set up within The Consumer Goods Forum to advance the food safety management and to ensure safe food for consumers everywhere.

The Standards ensure the management of food and product safety across the food industry including food processors and manufacturers, packers, storage and distribution, and packaging manufacturers. The Standards ensure that condition, procedure and practice is managed within the following areas to provide assurance to the consumer (please note that these vary slightly between GFSI benchmarked standards):-
