Suppliers might need a Food Safety certification in order supplying large retailers!
Briefly some Food Ouality and Safety programs standards are depending on your type of business, like the BRC, IFS; HACCP and ISO 22.000.
The BRC (British Retail Consortium). It requires documented approval to ensure food quality and safety. Retailers include Asda, Tesco and Sainsbury's.
The IFS is a quality and safety standard published by the union of German supermarket chains, HDE . It has been adopted by the French equivalent, the FCD. Retailers include Aldi, Lidl and Metro
The HACCP certification enables you to demonstrate your commitment to food HACCP safety and customer satisfaction, as well as continuously meeting the expectations of a changing world
The ISO 22000 is aFood Safety Management System to cover all the processes along the food chain that deal directly or indirectly with the end product being consumed.
Complex supply chains can mean multiple, parallel requirements for suppliers and can lead to duplicate systems, audits and paper work.
Some retailers request that an independent third party approves the quality and food safety system of the supplier.
