BRCGS Food & Packaging certification: strengthen the Quality and Safety of your products and packaging
BRCGS Food Certification, a key lever in your international development strategy
The BRCGS Food is a standard designed to guarantee the integrity of food products, with an approach that focuses not only on health safety but also on the risks of fraud and malicious acts or sabotage.
This standard applies to all food suppliers wishing to export their products to English-speaking countries or internationally, under their own brand or via distributors.
Did you know ?
Recognised by the GFSI (Global Food Safety Initiative), BRCGS Food certification gives local food producers additional credibility when marketing their products to international distributors.
With this certification, companies in the agri-food sector are committed to ensuring the safety and quality of their food production, and ensuring their attractiveness on the export markets they wish to develop.
The BRCGS Packaging Certification
BRCGS Packaging is an international standard that guarantees the quality, safety and conformity of packaging.
Essential for packaging manufacturers, particularly in the food industry, it is based on rigorous criteria that promote continuous improvement in product safety and the reduction of waste.
Recognised by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), it is now an essential benchmark for both legal compliance and consumer protection. A key factor in setting ourselves apart on the international packaging market, it is essential for access to English-speaking markets and is recognised on all international markets.
In addition to the regulatory and consumer safety aspects, this standard offers economic benefits. The ongoing development of this standard is helping to reduce production costs by optimising manufacturing processes and reducing product recall incidents.
