The development of the BRC Global Standards under the GFSI umbrella was initially driven by the need to meet legislative requirements of the EU General Product Safety Directive and the UK Food Safety Act, but was quickly seen as having significant benefits to the suppliers of product to UK retailers and subsequently, European and Global retailers. In addition to this, the range of users has now expanded to catering.
BRC Global Standard for Food Safety Issue 6 is effective January 1, 2012.
