Overview

BRCGS is one of the most widely recognised GFSI standards among retailers and brand owners, with a strong emphasis on senior management commitment, a documented HACCP food safety plan, and site standards. We help you prepare for the grade you need, not just a pass.

Challenges we solve

  • Retailer requirement for a specific BRCGS grade (AA/A/B)
  • Site standards (layout, maintenance, housekeeping) not audit-ready
  • Senior management commitment not evidenced as the standard requires
  • Traceability and recall systems untested

Our approach

  • Gap analysis against the current BRCGS Global Standard for Food Safety
  • Review and strengthen the HACCP food safety plan
  • Site standards review — layout, pest control, maintenance, glass & hard plastic controls
  • Mock traceability exercise and recall simulation
  • Documentation and internal audit preparation ahead of the certification audit

Deliverables

  • BRCGS gap analysis report with prioritised actions
  • Strengthened HACCP plan and supporting PRPs
  • Traceability and recall test results
  • Internal audit schedule and trained auditors
  • Certification-audit readiness support

Frequently asked questions

It depends on your customer requirements and current maturity — we help you understand what's realistic and what it takes to improve it.
Do you run the mock recall for us?
Yes, we design and run a traceability/recall exercise as part of readiness, with results and corrective actions.
