BRCGS

BRCGS Food Safety Standard

Strengthen raw material traceability and product visibility within BRCGS-aligned food safety systems.

What is BRCGS?

BRCGS (Brand Reputation through Compliance Global Standards) is a globally recognised food safety and quality certification standard used by manufacturers, processors, and brand owners supplying major retailers and food service organisations. The standard covers a broad range of requirements, including food safety management systems, hazard analysis, supplier controls, traceability, and audit readiness, with certification assessed through independent third-party audits.

Who it Applies to and How it is Used

BRCGS applies to food manufacturers and processors seeking certification to demonstrate robust food safety and quality practices. Certification is site-based and requires organisations to meet requirements across multiple clauses, many of which extend beyond digital systems into physical processes, governance, and operational controls.

How Orijin Plus Supports BRCGS Traceability Expectations

Orijin Plus supports brands operating under BRCGS by strengthening traceability and raw material visibility within broader food safety management systems. The platform addresses specific traceability-related expectations of the standard, without replacing the full scope of BRCGS requirements.

Raw material and ingredient traceability

Orijin Plus enables structured tracking of raw materials and ingredients as they enter the supply chain and are used in production. This supports visibility over inputs, supplier relationships, and material usage, aligning with BRCGS expectations around traceability and supplier control.

Batch and lot linkage through production

The platform supports batch and lot-level linkage as materials are transformed into finished products. This makes it easier to demonstrate traceability during internal reviews, mock recalls, or audit preparation, without relying solely on manual records.

Clear traceability records for audits and reviews

Orijin Plus organises traceability data in a structured, searchable format, supporting faster access to records when required for audits, internal investigations, or supplier reviews. This helps reduce reliance on fragmented spreadsheets and paper-based systems.

Designed to integrate into existing food safety systems

Orijin Plus is designed to complement existing ERP, QMS, and food safety processes rather than replace them. Brands can adopt the platform to strengthen traceability capabilities while continuing to manage certification, audits, and governance through established BRCGS-aligned systems.
