Morey receives retail certification

The Specialty Products processing facility for Morey's Seafood International has received the British Retail Consortium (BRC) certification under the Global Standard for Food Safety.

The Motley, Minnesota based facility has earned certification with a grade of "A" which is the highest grade available.

BRC has become a benchmark for best practice in the food industry for evaluating both manufactures and retailers. BRC audits are based on seven sub-categories: senior management commitment, food safety plan (HACCP), food safety and quality management system, site standards, product control, process control and personnel.

As the bar is raised for food quality and manufacturing practices around the globe Morey's has aimed for a higher standard of quality within its facilities. Earlier this year, Morey's Minnesota Processing and Distribution centre, completed their BRC certification with a Grade A.
