GFSI recognized certification:

 
BRCGS is an international Food Safety Management Systems standard and is one of the GFSI recognized certification schemes which is an important consideration because many major manufacturers, marketing groups, restaurants and retailers require a GFSI recognized certification. BRCGS contains requirements for food processors to follow to build an effective food safety management system. The requirements of the standard address the key elements that must be in place to ensure production of a safe product. Richwood Meat maintains Food Defense Program to address bioterrorism and other risks of product adulteration while at the same time the plant has a 24-hour security with fenced and a patrolled perimeter.  Surveillance cameras cover production and non-production areas. All employees and approved vendors are issued ID badges that must be used to gain access to the facility.
