Bart opted for the highest level of certification several years ago, meaning audits are unannounced. The audit took place over two days and includes a thorough assessment of the factory processes, packing lines and cleaning practices and Bart was awarded A+ for Global Standard for Food Safety.
Andy Buchan, Bart technical manager, said: “To date over 14,000 companies operating in over 90 countries have achieved one of the BRC Global certification. However, there are only 26 companies in the world that have gained the A+ standard.”
Bart has also been audited by the Soil Association, who test the site to ensure that it complies to their organic standards from a product handling perspective as well as from a traceability perspective.
Bart passed and the auditors praised staff in the factory and warehouse of their knowledge of receiving and managing Organic goods.
