What is the BRC global food standard?
The British Retail Consortium (BRC) created the global standard – food to establish a single common standard for the evaluation of companies supplying retailer branded foods. It has been developed to assist retailers in fulfilling legal obligations and to ensure the highest level of client protection. Although developed in the UK, the standard is acknowledged internationally. The standard is now in its fourth issue and has been extensively revised to reflect revised EU legislation and continuous best practice requirements.
