FICS helps Pakistani food exporters prepare for the BRCGS Global Standard for Food Safety, often required by UK and European retailers and importers. We assess your site against the current issue of the Standard, close the gaps with your team and prepare you for the certification body’s audit.

How it works: Assess → Plan → Implement → Verify

  1. Assess: site and document review against the Standard.
  2. Plan: fix list ranked by fundamental clauses, major risks and effort.
  3. Implement: procedures, site improvements and training.
  4. Verify: mock audit, traceability test and readiness sign-off.

FICS is a consultancy. Certificates, licences and inspection results are issued by certification bodies and food authorities; we prepare your system, site and team for them.

Frequently asked questions

BRCGS or FSSC 22000 — which should we choose?

Choose based on what your buyers specify. UK and many European retailers commonly name BRCGS; other buyers accept any GFSI-recognised scheme. We help you check buyer requirements before you invest.

Can FICS guarantee a grade?

No. Grades are decided by the certification body’s auditor. We prepare your site to reduce findings and avoid surprises.

Do you support unannounced audits?

Yes. We help you set up the daily discipline needed for an unannounced audit option, not just a one-day clean-up.

Do you work with plants in Karachi and Faisalabad?

Yes. We support exporters across Pakistan, including Karachi, Lahore, Faisalabad, Islamabad and Peshawar.
