British Retail Consortium (BRC) Accreditation, renewed by Sensient France

STRASBOURG, FRANCE – October 14, 2008 – The Sensient facility in Strasbourg, France passed the renewal of the accreditation by British Retail Consortium (BRC) that gave it a rating of Grade A. The Strasbourg plant makes a complete range of yeast products and extractives.

In 1998 the British Retail Consortium (BRC), responding to industry needs, developed and introduced the BRC Food Technical Standard to be used to evaluate manufacturers of retailers own brand food products. It is designed to be used as a pillar to help retailers and brand owners with their 'due diligence' defense, should they be subject to a prosecution by the enforcement authorities. Under EU food Law, retailers and brand owners have a legal responsibility for their brands.
