A highly recognised standard in the food and drink supply chain industry, the BRC award builds on Culina's existing ISO (1) See ISO speed.

It adds additional assurances for customers that the chilled food and drink supply chain specialist has the infrastructure and proven expertise across its modern UK distribution centre network.

Comprising many of the UK's major retailers, the BRC technical standard ensures all food retailers are able to fulfil their legal obligations and certify that food products are produced safely for the consumer under the Food Safety Act 1990.

With over half of all foods sold in the UK now retailer own branded, Culina works closely with the manufacturers to develop robust shared-user supply chains that meet the highest quality standards.

The audit was conducted by international assessors Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance (LRQA LRQA Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance ) and consisted of a vigorous four-day examination.

In addition to a Factory Environment Inspection, Culina underwent a thorough inspection of its HACCP HACCP

Rien Brakel, managing director at Culina Logistics, comments: "Culina is a customer focused logistics solutions provider and we are committed to continually improving our operational practices.

"The BRC accreditation standard extends our reputation as the market leader in high-quality chilled logistics services in the UK.

"Our clients can be further assured of our robust HACCP programme, building fabric and structure as well as stock traceability, cool chain requirements and fully documented procedures."

Having worked with LRQA to achieve ISO 9001, Culina has also recently committed itself to achieving the ISO 14001 environmental management standard in 2008.
