Contact Us TodayBRCGS certification in Ottawa typically serves the capital region's federally registered manufacturers and export-oriented specialty producers whose buyers — often UK, European, or multinational private-label programs — name the standard specifically. For Ottawa's characteristically smaller, quality-led plants, BRCGS Issue 9's demands around food safety culture and senior-management engagement are actually an advantage: in a 25-person operation, leadership commitment is either visible everywhere or nowhere.
Not if a contract requires it — but scheme choice should follow your buyers. BRCGS carries particular weight with UK and European retailers and some global brands; if your customers are North American, SQF may serve the same GFSI purpose with a more familiar audit style. BRCGS also offers the START! program as a stepping stone for smaller sites building toward full certification. We match the scheme, and the entry level, to your actual order book.
The scheme layer above regulation: your documented food safety culture plan and its measured activities, site standards at a granularity beyond SFCR (fabrication, equipment design, foreign-body controls like glass and brittle-plastic registers), product security and food defence, and the internal audit programme's rigour. A clean CFIA record is a foundation, not a pass. Our gap assessments in licensed plants consistently find the culture plan and foreign-body programs needing the most construction.
A GFSI-recognized standard widely accepted by UK and European retailers, with growing adoption by North American manufacturers exporting globally.
