Safe and consistent retail performance that earns consumer trust
Our Retail standard brings the proven value of certification into retail operations. By combining management-system audits with practical assessment and inspection, it helps retailers move beyond inspection-only controls, strengthen day-to-day performance and reduce exposure to regulatory fines, product waste, operational shrinkage and customer litigation.
Designed for businesses across the food retail supply chain, the standard covers the sourcing, purchasing, importation, distribution, preparation and retailing of products. Certification enables retailers to demonstrate due diligence and that they meet food and product safety legislation worldwide.
