Food safety starts with the legal HACCP requirement and continues with the schemes that retail chains and international brands require from their suppliers.

FSSC 22000, BRCGS and IFS are recognised by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) — the choice between them depends mainly on which markets and retailers you sell to.
