What is BRC? Strict Standards Behind Taste

What do you think a doner maker needs most? Quality meat? Experienced craftsmen? All of these are important, of course. But in today’s global food market, there is one value that guarantees all this and more: An internationally recognized quality standard. This is exactly where the BRC certificate comes into play.

BRC (British Retail Consortium) is a globally recognized food safety standard based in the UK. This document has a value far beyond being a “certificate of cleanliness”. If you have a BRC certificate, it means that you fulfill certain criteria in dozens of areas such as traceability, risk analysis, hygiene management, employee training and continuous auditing in your production facility.

A BRC certified doner producer is always one step ahead of its competitors, not only providing products to restaurant customers, but also to large supermarket chains, airline companies and even overseas distributors. Because with this certificate, it has the opportunity to say “We produce at international standards”.

To put it more clearly: Having a BRC certificate means that your doner kebab is not produced by chance, but with systematic assurance. Those who hold this certificate have committed to recording every step from the initial acceptance of the meat to its packaging. This means that if there is a problem, the cause can be identified within 15 minutes. This means we can be proactive in food safety.
