BRC – IFS – Food Safety Managemen
What is BRC – IFS standard?
The development of a food safety management system is, as per the BRC international standard (British Retail Consortium) or the IFS (International Food Standard), the best way for a company to prove it considers and fulfills its customers’ demands, who own or do business with companies in countries implementing these standards (e.g. the UK and Germany respectively).
The implementation of such a system entails obtaining an international certificate according to IFS or BRC. The certification, besides its contribution to the organisation’s food safety management, also serves as a tool for improved prestige, reputation and credibility of the company, leading to new business opportunities.
