THE IMPORTANCE OF THE BRCGS STANDARD IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY AND HOW GRUPO MITERI CAN HELP YOU COMPLY

Certifications

In today's globalized world, the demands for food safety continue to grow. The BRC standard (British Retail Consortium), now known as BRCGS (Brand Reputation through Compliance Global Standards), is one of the most recognized standards worldwide in the food industry. This certification ensures that food products are manufactured following the highest levels of safety, legality, and quality, which is essential for companies looking to export to markets such as the United States, Europe, and Asia. At Grupo Miteri, through Fumigaciones JJMiteri, we understand the importance of complying with these standards and offer specialized services that facilitate your company in achieving the necessary certifications. Additionally, as a company certified with DC5, we train individuals within our education system, Universidad MITERI, awarding the DC3 upon completion and accreditation of the corresponding courses, a key element for meeting safety regulations. In this article, we will explain in detail what the BRCGS standard is, why it is so relevant, and how our services can assist you in the process.

What is the BRCGS Standard? BRCGS is a set of international standards that ensure the safety, integrity, quality, and legality of food products throughout the entire supply chain. Since its creation in 1996, it has been adopted by manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors worldwide, becoming a key reference for building trust in food products. This certification not only ensures that food is safe for consumption but also protects brand reputation and improves operational efficiency by reducing risks. It is particularly important for companies looking to export to demanding markets such as the United States, Europe, and Asia, where compliance with international standards is mandatory. Changes in the Standard: From BRC to BRCGS In 2019, the BRC standard changed its name to BRCGS, broadening its focus not only on food safety but also on brand reputation for those who adopt it. This change reflects a greater emphasis on quality at every stage of the food production and marketing process, ensuring that companies meet the industry's most rigorous standards. Why is BRCGS So Important? 1. Access to International Markets: Having BRCGS certification is virtually a requirement for exporting food to many countries. Companies in the United States, Canada, and Europe often require their suppliers to be certified under this standard. 2. Brand Protection: Non-compliance with food safety standards can lead to costly product recalls, loss of customers, and irreversible damage to reputation. BRCGS certification protects the brand by ensuring that production processes meet the strictest regulations. 3. Consumer Trust: Consumers are increasingly demanding regarding the quality and safety of the food they consume. Holding BRCGS certification provides a competitive advantage by demonstrating that your company prioritizes food safety and quality. 4. Operational Efficiency: Implementing BRCGS standards improves internal processes, reduces errors, and optimizes risk management. This not only guarantees higher quality products but also leads to a more efficient operation.
