BRC (British Retail Consortium)
The British Retail Consortium (BRC) certification is a specific worldwide standard that assures agri-food product safety. Its goal is to ensure the quality and safety of food products offered to consumers by suppliers and large supermarket chains. It is an internationally recognised standard that promotes food safety along the whole supply chain.

IFS (International Food Standard)
IFS, the International Food Standard, is an international standard concerning the selection of food product suppliers. The IFS was developed by large supermarket chains in France, Germany and Italy as further guarantee for the quality and safety of food products and to adopt policies intended to safeguard the employee work in all the supply chain. It has also been widely adopted by the main Italian food trade associations, as it is a guarantee of quality in compliance with the increasingly restrictive regulations governing the agri-food sector.
