BRC publishes annual safety report

BRC Global Standards has published the second edition of its annual report Food Safety – A Global View.

Each year, BRC Global Standards collects vast amounts of data and information during food safety audits. In 2014, it conducted audits in 120 countries covering over 17,000 food sites.

This year, the company has adopted a slightly different approach to analysis, categorising the data by food group rather than by country. The report sets out key findings and analysis from the 2014 audits and provides a global view of food safety information and performance data, covering all 18 categories in the BRC Global Standard for Food Safety.

Suppliers and retailers will now be able to benchmark sector performance on a global scale, accessing richer information on the specific trends and performance levels within their particular food and drink categories.

Mark Proctor, CEO of BRC Global Standards, says, “At the heart of the programme is a commitment to sharing best practice to help improve food safety, and with this data and analysis available we are providing a consistent global picture of manufacturing performance, as well as unprecedented depth of insight for the industry.”

Food Safety – A Global View 2015 is available to download from the knowledge centre of the BRC Global Standards website.
