Contact Us TodayBRCGS certification comes up in Calgary mostly when a protein or packaged-goods manufacturer starts selling into UK, European, or global retail supply chains — markets where BRCGS is the default GFSI passport in a way SQF is not. For Alberta meat and grain-based processors already running a CFIA-verified Preventive Control Plan, the heavy lifts are usually BRCGS Issue 9's food safety culture requirements, site fabrication standards, and the unannounced-audit readiness the scheme increasingly expects.
Some UK and European buyers specify BRCGS by name rather than accepting any GFSI-benchmarked scheme, and export brokers often find doors open faster with it. The good news: your SQF system covers most requirements, so we run a delta gap assessment rather than a rebuild — typically the culture plan, site standards, and product-security elements need the most new work.
BRCGS Issue 9 includes explicit raw-material risk assessment and food-fraud vulnerability requirements, and species substitution is a named fraud risk for meat processors. Your CFIA-verified controls provide the base, but BRCGS wants a documented vulnerability assessment and mitigation plan. We build these on top of your existing PCP so the systems reinforce rather than duplicate each other.
A GFSI-recognized standard widely accepted by UK and European retailers, with growing adoption by North American manufacturers exporting globally.
