Contact Us TodayBRCGS certification in Boston is largely driven by export ambition: the region's seafood houses, specialty-ingredient makers, and better-for-you CPG brands pursuing UK and European retail listings find BRCGS is the scheme those buyers name first. Because BRCGS Issue 9 puts unusual weight on food safety culture and senior-management commitment, Boston's lean, founder-led food companies often need as much work on governance evidence as on plant-floor controls.
Both are GFSI-benchmarked and accepted by North American retailers, but BRCGS carries stronger recognition with UK and EU retail buyers and many European importers specify it by name. If your growth plan runs through export markets or co-packing for brands that sell abroad, BRCGS avoids having to explain scheme equivalence to overseas customers. For a purely domestic retail strategy, SQF auditor availability in New England can tip the decision the other way.
The Food Safety standard applies, but auditors expect your HACCP plan to align with FDA Seafood HACCP (21 CFR 123) since that regulation already binds you — including species-specific hazards like histamine and Listeria control in ready-to-eat smoked products. We build one hazard analysis that satisfies both the FDA regulation and BRCGS clause 2, so you are not maintaining parallel plans.
A GFSI-recognized standard widely accepted by UK and European retailers, with growing adoption by North American manufacturers exporting globally.
