This award is a result of FSNS C&A continuing to demonstrate growth of audited sites through voluntary module programs including FSMA and culture excellence, according to the organization. FSNS C&A was the first certification body (CB) to have an audited site complete with the culture excellence module program. Through education and organizational growth, FSNS C&A, as a CB, is actively using the voluntary module program to ensure excellence, according to a FSNS press release.

“We are honored to be selected as the BRC Certification Body of the year and are proud of our association with the British Retail Consortium,” said John Bellinger, CEO of FSNS. “This award represents the leadership, knowledge, work ethic and passion exhibited by Lori Ernst, our VP of Auditing and Certification, and her team, building FSNS C&A into a premier auditing team.”

To achieve this level of recognition, FSNS C&A has ensured extensive training for its auditors, including FSMA training taught by professors who are experts in food safety. The goal of the training was to provide growth opportunities, ensure consistency among auditors to assist clients with continuous improvement, and to develop the most highly qualified auditors in the industry. Upon completion of the three day FSMA course all auditors became PCQI qualified individuals.
