BRC is a commercial organization representing the UK retail trade. The members of this organization are large in size from large shopping centers to small kiosks. BRC is directly involved in a wide range of issues affecting retailing and the consumer, and lobbying in the UK and the European Union to bring these issues to the fore.
British Retail Consortium Standard (British Retail Consortium Standard) is a standard created by British retailers. At the end of a two-year study, it was published in October 1998 under the name of BRC-Global Standard-Food, which includes the requirements for food, customer products and packaging materials. Retailer Brands constitute 38 of the British retail food market. Although these products are not inferior to branded products in terms of quality, they can be attractive to the consumer in terms of price. At the same time, considering that 60% of food sales are made by 5 major retailers, it can be understood how aggressively these companies compete in terms of quality, price and innovation. As a result, the UK purchases large amounts of products and inputs from abroad and requires the implementation of BRC Technical Standards, Quality Management Systems and other specific requirements to ensure product safety. Brc Food Standard is a world brand certification type recognized in more than 100 countries and certified by nearly 20.000 suppliers. In addition, it is the management system created through the GFSI certification standard, which is the first Food Safety certificate. BRC has presented an ideal application package that is accepted both in production and trade in advanced countries all over the world and has started to spread more and more every day. The most suitable BRC Food is purchased from Türcert.
