Ep 176 Gluten Free Certification with BRCGS

On this episode I speak with Jon Murthy, Head of Global Marketing for BRCGS.  This is the organization that certifies foods for the CCA gluten free logo, as part of their many certification programs.  Originally, this operation was performed by a relatively small, but knowledgeable group in Canada, but moving this important function to a multi-national, multi-discipline certification body, brings an entirely new perspective to gluten free food safety.  Jon discusses the process a company must go through to achieve certification, as well as the complexities of companies producing and exporting ingredients and prepared foods to maintain their certification status.  This global perspective is a complicated concept, but BRCGS certainly seems up to the international challenge.
