BRCGS Global Standard Food Safety- Issue 9
The BRCGS Food Safety Standard Issue 9 is a globally recognised framework for food manufacturers to ensure the
production of safe, authentic, and legal food, while maintaining product quality that meets customer requirements.
First introduced in 1998 and updated periodically, the Standard is designed to help food businesses manage food
safety risks and comply with legal and regulatory requirements. Issue 9, which was launched in 2023, emphasizes
continuous improvement, with updates based on stakeholder feedback and emerging industry challenges. It is
widely used by food manufacturers, retailers, food service companies, and procurement organisations to assess
supplier capabilities.
Certification to the BRCGS Food Safety Standard is accepted globally and demonstrates that a site meets rigorous
food safety, authenticity, and quality criteria. The latest update introduces new elements, including the integration
of product safety culture and updates to core food safety activities like root cause analysis, incident management,
and preventive actions.
BRCGS Issue 9 is a comprehensive tool for businesses seeking to meet food safety regulations while improving
their food safety management systems. Its adoption provides numerous benefits, including enhanced compliance
with international standards, reduced audit duplication, and greater market recognition, helping companies build
trust with customers and stakeholders worldwide.
