Contact Us TodayHouston manufacturers typically arrive at BRCGS through export: the Port of Houston connects the city's food and ingredient producers to European and global buyers for whom BRCGS Issue 9 is the expected GFSI credential. The scheme's grading system and unannounced-audit program carry real commercial weight with those customers, and its emphasis on food safety culture and root-cause analysis demands more than a documentation refresh. We run Houston sites through gap assessment, culture-plan development, and a full mock audit before the certification body arrives.
It's frequently the deciding credential. European retailers and many global food groups specify BRCGS from suppliers, and a good grade (AA or A) on an announced audit — or any grade on the unannounced program — strengthens your position in supplier selection. It does not replace destination-country regulatory requirements, but it usually satisfies the private-standard layer of export deals.
Grades run from AA down based on the number and severity of non-conformances found; a major non-conformance caps your grade and a critical one denies certification. Grade drives audit frequency and customer perception, so preparation should target zero majors — our mock audit classifies findings exactly as a BRCGS auditor would.
A GFSI-recognized standard widely accepted by UK and European retailers, with growing adoption by North American manufacturers exporting globally.
