Arrowfarms And Morning Kiss Organic Receive Global Food Safety Initiative Certification

Chelsea, MA – For the third year in a row, Morning Kiss Organic has been certified with a AA Food Safety Rating by the British Retail Consortium (BRC), a leading trade association. The BRC is an internationally recognized accreditation body for the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI). GFSI participants are recognized worldwide as adhering to the highest standards of food safety and quality in the food-manufacturing industry.

“Food safety and quality is part of our culture – our goal is to be an industry leader in best practices so that the entire supply chain remains safe. We're proud that Morning Kiss Organic is certified for three years running and we'll continue to attain global safety standards by focusing on employee development and training. Working hard to earn these certifications also earns the trust of our customers,” says Nelly Czajkowski, Sales Manager. 

Morning Kiss Organic was among the first companies to receive the AA Food Safety Rating, which was introduced with BRC Food Issue 7 in 2015 to foster continuous improvement amongst participants. The rarely award AA rating is a result of exceptional safety practices, distribution center cleanliness, and employee training. Over the multi-day audit, BRC inspectors reviewed key components of food safety to ensure programs are in place as follows – cleaning and sanitation, pest control, maintenance program, personal hygiene, staff training, supplier control, receiving, shipping and storage, chemical, metal, brittle plastic & glass control, waste management and traceability program. 

Morning Kiss Organic is also certified by Quality Assurance International (QAI), one of the leading providers of organic certification services worldwide. As a USDA-accredited certifying agent, QAI's programs verify organic integrity.
