When process improvement across a project, division or organization is needed, Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) can be used for a guide. There are more than 19000 International Standards and some 1,000 of them cover food, including matters of logistics, agricultural machinery, manufacturing, labeling, transporting and storing food. The BRC Food Technical Standard for evaluation of food products and brands was set in 1998 by the British Retail Consortium (BRC). HACCP training will teach you all about the correct protocol for the production of foods so you can get your Brc certification. Food safety certification is being required more and more now by businesses in the food industry. ISO 9000 certification may also be required.

Retail Industry Leaders Association along with the BRC, worked together in 2009 to develop the North America edition of the Global Standard for Consumer Products. These standards help keep the foods we grow, process, prepare, serve and store and transport, much safer. As a result, dangerous food borne diseases have been diminished. A dangerous food bacteria, Listeriosis, is especially dangerous for the elderly, women, newborn and infants.

Other certifications you can get with HACCP training include process safety management and servsafe certification. More information on where to get HACCP training can be found by searching the term “HACCP training” using your internet search engine today. Refernce materials: ul-dqsusa.com
