Food Safety Certification for small to medium-sized business
If the full requirements of a food safety standard are not practical or do not add value, your site may benefit from BRCGS

START!
The START! programme recognises and encourages the development of food safety systems in small sites where food safety management systems are immature. Developed in line with the full Food Safety Global Standard and the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) Global Markets programme, it is recognised and supported by many leading brands and retailers.
BRCGS START! gives you a clear path towards improved food safety standards as you grow.

Scope of BRCGS START!
The START! programme sets out the requirements for the manufacture of processed foods and the preparation of primary products supplied as:
✓ Retailer-branded products
✓ Branded food products
✓ Food or ingredients for use by foodservice companies, catering companies and food manufacturers
The audit and certification will apply only to products that have been manufactured or prepared at the site where the audit has taken place. This will include storage facilities that are under the direct control of the production site management.
