BRCGS Global Standard for Food Safety is the audit most UK and North American retailers recognize. A Grade A letter means non-conformances were closed on site and the unannounced-audit window is already in the calendar.
Buyers typically request the certificate, the last two audit reports (redacted for unrelated SKUs), and a metal-detect challenge log. We keep those files ready so a category manager can forward them the same day.
This page explains the scope of our current site, the next surveillance date, and how we isolate Halal gelatin from the BRCGS candy rooms when a mixed-order container is planned.
