Glebe Farm Foods: 'best-in-class' for Food Safety Standards

Glebe Farm Foods: 'best-in-class' for Food Safety Standards

Glebe Farm Foods has announced that its site has been awarded AA+ grade following the recent unannounced audit against the BRCGS V9 standard.

The BRCGS Global Food Safety Standard is a globally recognised certification program designed to ensure the safety, quality, legality and authenticity of food products. This was the first unannounced audit for the site and included all the production facilities; de-hulling, flaking and flour, oat drink manufacturing and Tetrapak filling, and new to the scope was the manufacturing and packing of Granola.


The audit covered not only the Global Food Safety Standard but also the BRCGS Gluten Free Programme. The recognition comes following a consistent dedication to excellence and the meticulous efforts of Glebe's technical team and supportive operatives, led by Glebe’s Head of Technical, Serena Woolland, who joined the manufacturer in November 2023, bringing with her a wealth of expertise.

As well as awarding Glebe Farm Foods Grade AA+, it also commended the company for its progress, British farming, investments and innovation, and the unwavering commitment demonstrated by its staff.

"The result is a testament to the hard work of our exceptional production staff and the technical team, keeping both site and systems in impeccable order," said Philip Rayner, Founder and Managing Director of Glebe Farm Foods. " At Glebe Farm Foods, we strive to deliver nothing but the highest standard – whether that’s in taste or product experience, sustainable practices, or food safety. We’re delighted with this status – but we were always confident we’d achieve it!”
