FlexCold, a leader in modernizing cold storage warehousing, announced that its Jacksonville location received the internationally recognized Brand Reputation Compliance Gold Standard (“BRC”) highest rating of “AA” from its first rigorous announced certification audit. BRC is compliant with world storage and distribution standards and is the highest award to companies demonstrating food safety compliance in quality management, hygiene, and product safety.
The BRC Global Food Safety Standard has set the benchmark for nearly 25 years. Adopted by over 22,000 sites in more than 130 countries, the standard is accepted by 70% of the top 10 global retailers, 60% of the top 10 quick-service restaurants, and 50% of the top 25 manufacturers. The standard has constantly evolved to protect the consumer. It was the first standard to be recognized by the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI).
