In recent years, even large organised distribution has been the international promoter of specific hygiene-quality standards, requesting that is own suppliers apply these standards. In fact, BRC and IFS are the operational instruments most commonly used to qualify and select suppliers.
The BRC (British Retail Consortium) is the global standard for agricultural and food safety, showing that the company has implemented all reasonable measures to prevent accidents. This certification is also proof that the company is committed to safety, quality and the respect of the regulations that govern the agricultural and food sector.
