Contact Us TodaySan Francisco food companies come to BRCGS from a different angle than commodity manufacturers: the Bay Area's specialty, organic, and premium brands sell into export markets and upscale international retail where BRCGS certification signals manufacturing seriousness that a small-batch origin story alone cannot. For the region's co-manufacturers — where most local brands actually make product — BRCGS Issue 9 preparation concentrates on formalizing the systems artisan-rooted operations often run informally: documented culture plans, structured internal audits, and vulnerability assessment for premium ingredients that invite fraud.
Certification attaches to the site that manufactures, so your co-manufacturer holds the certificate — but buyers will still audit your brand-side controls: specification management, supplier approval of the co-man, and label and claims governance. If the co-man won't certify, your export ambitions may force a site change. We assess co-manufacturer certification readiness before you commit volumes to a partner who can't get you where you're going.
Directly: Issue 9 requires a documented vulnerability assessment for raw materials covering substitution, dilution, and mislabelling risk, with mitigation proportional to vulnerability — and olive oil and honey are two of the most-adulterated foods in world trade. Expect auditors to probe origin verification, supplier history, and any testing. We build assessments using recognized methodologies so your premium sourcing claims hold up commercially and at audit.
A GFSI-recognized standard widely accepted by UK and European retailers, with growing adoption by North American manufacturers exporting globally.
