FOOD INDUSTRY CERTIFICATION
Food quality and safety is a constant concern for communities around the world and is highlighted in repeated health scares. Consumers increasingly want the assurance that their food is sourced sustainable and safe sources. Due to the increase in the world population, the quality and sustainability of the food supply must be maintained. The world needs food that is environmentally sustainable and ethically responsible.
Food manufacturers, retailers and material suppliers are responsible for ensuring their products are reliable and of high quality. In addition to sustainability, food counterfeiting, regulations, challenges related to global supply chains and changing consumer requirements, in today´s rapidly globalizing world, companies face complex challenges as they try to fulfill their responsibilities and comply with regulations while trying to stay afloat.
BRC: Maintaining Food Safety and Quality
The British Retail Consortium (BRC) Standard is a food quality and safety certification designed by industrial trade groups. Many large retailers in the UK, Germany and France require BRC certificates their suppliers. Certifications to this standard help you access international markets, strengthen relationships with distributors and minimize food safety risk.
The subject of food safety, in general, is closely related to all kinds of food products, field to table, including production processes, packaging, storage, transportation and all logistics activities within the scope of food trade. In these processes, which have so many parties, the need for regulating the relations on food safety and creating a common language between these parties on the one hand and between countries on the other is obvious. The establishment of some standards by domestic and foreign organizations on food and the making of some legal regulations in domestic and foreign legal systems are the results of this need.
Due to the production of new technologies and their use in the food industry on the one hand, and the ability to perform much more precise measurement, test and analysis studies with improved analysis techniques, on the other hand, published standards are updated very frequently and new standards emerge.
Examples of these standards can be given as follows:
* ISO 22000 Food Safety Management System
* Hazard Analysis Certification at HACCP Critical Control Points
* HALAL Islamic Compliance Certification
* ISO TS 13027 Hygiene and Sanitation Certification
* BRC FOOD Food Certification
* IFS International Food Standard Certification
* KOSHER Certification
* EN 15593 Food Packaging Packaging Quality Management System
