FOOD SECTOR CERTIFICATION

In addition to sustainability, food counterfeiting, regulations, challenges related to global supply chains and changing consumer requirements, in today´s rapidly globalizing world, companies are struggling to survive and tackle complex challenges while trying to fulfill their responsibilities and comply with regulations.
BRC: Food Safety and Quality Protection
British Retail Consortium (BRC) Standard is a food quality and safety certificate designed by industrial trade groups. Many large retailers in the UK, Germany and France require their suppliers´ BRC certificates. Certifications for this standard help you access international markets, strengthen your relationships with distributors and minimize food safety risk.
The issue of food safety is closely related to packaging, storage, transportation and all logistics activities of all types of food products within the scope of food trade, including production processes from field to table. In these processes, which are such parties, the need to regulate the relations between these parties on the one hand and to create a common language between countries on food safety is obvious. Establishing some standards on food by domestic and foreign organizations and making some legal arrangements in domestic and foreign legal systems are the results of this need.
On the one hand, the production of new technologies and their use in the food sector, on the other hand, due to the fact that much more precise measurement, testing and analysis studies can be carried out with improved analysis techniques, the published standards are also updated frequently and new standards emerge.
