BSOL Food

BSI has published over 800 standards relevant to the food and drink industry covering food safety, microbiological and sensory analysis, packaging and process issues, supply chain as well as many general quality management areas, including environmental management, information security, occupational health and safety and IT service management.

Using standards could cut your spending on research and development and avoid duplication of effort when developing methodology and specifications that are already available. The use of standards can also help any company improve the quality of a product - one of the best ways to retain existing customers and build consumer confidence.
