Our Services - Meeting Your Needs

TQS Food Assurance

We specialise in advising & assisting UK & overseas food businesses in meeting the Food Safety, Hygiene and Quality Assurance expectations of local, legislative and customer requirements. We've assisted many food businesses in gaining BRC Certification to the Global Standard for Food & the International Food Standard (IFS).

Both standards are internationally recognised and key pre-requisites for supplying any of the major UK or EU food retailers. The standards are also the benchmark increasingly used by food processors in sourcing raw materials for their own food manufacturing operations.

Retailer Technical Standards and Codes of Practice can also present specific challenges which our team of technologists has extensive experience of meeting. <<more info>>
