This solution addresses the requirements of ISO 22000 and BRC leading to certification where appropriate against each standard. It’s a cost-effective way to cut disruption without adversely impacting the food safety objectives in any way. As a result of the audit, you get a single report and a single set of conclusions covering your food safety management systems.

How are audits conducted?
Our Single Food Audit Pack audits are conducted by a multi-skilled auditor team qualified to be lead auditors for all the relevant food safety standards. The auditor team assesses the management systems against the ISO 22000 and BRC Food standards within a single audit for every visit (initial assessment, surveillance and renewal audits).
If your organisation is already certified against BRC Food, the ISO 22000 audit can be combined with the existing visit and cover the multiple audit needs with a single audit. Subsequent single audits are then carried out at the agreed interval.
