Fake Micron2 Certificate

The Chinese company YANTAI EVERSUN who supply dried apple products have sent at least one company in the UK a fake BRC certificate which appears to show that they are currently certificated for the BRC Global Standard for Food Safety.

This is a FAKE. We last audited this company in 2016 but they were not audited by us in 2017 and our certificate expired. Thus they do not appear on the BRC Directory.

A reminder to all companies: when they are offered a BRC Certificate by a supplier they must always be checked on the BRC Directory.

Successful Trip to China

I have just returned from my regular visit to our auditing team in China. Based in Qingdao, we work with the Ansense group which comprises (in this photo):

Micah, Vincent, Jell, Tim & Steven.

The Audit Team

The first 4 names are our BRC audit team while Steven is now looking after business development there. I had a great time and while I was there I witnessed Vincent auditing a frozen produce factory and had our usual team and calibration meeting, which was very encouraging.

Shandong Province

Qingdao is the largest city in the Shandong province with a population of c 10 million. It is famous for hosting the water sports for the 2008 Olympic Games, for Tsingtao beer and for the World’s longest bridge (among other things). In the Shandong province there are many food factories and the highest proportion of BRC-certificated sites that are based in China. Thus the Ansense team are ideally situated to continue to increase our work there.

We are currently able to offer the BRC Food Safety Standard and the Agents & Brokers Standard in China.

9 Certificates in a row

With space for a tenth….
I was delighted to be at Cany Products in France on 8th & 9th June to witness one of our auditors carrying out an audit for the BRC Global Standard for Food Safety. It was lovely to to see their history with Micron2 proudly displayed in this way.
