OptiBiotix obtains British Retail Consortium accreditation

05 January 2022

One of the leading international food safety standards

OptiBiotix Health plc (AIM: OPTI), a life sciences business developing unique science and human study-based compounds that modulate the microbiome to address metabolic syndrome and diabetes, systemic low-grade inflammation, obesity, cardiovascular disease, high cholesterol and to support healthy aging has achieved British Retail Consortium ('BRC') accreditation.

BRC was the first standard to meet the Global Food Safety Initiative ('GFSI') benchmark, which means it is accepted by many of the world's biggest retailers, such as Tesco and Walmart. The certification ensures customers have confidence in OptiBiotix's products and it allows the Company to do business with those retailers, manufacturers, ingredients companies and food service organisations who specify certification as part of their approval process (most large retailers and their suppliers). It incorporates food safety management systems and internationally accepted best practice to ensure the safety and quality of products and in doing so reduces the risk of recalls.

René Kamminga, CEO of OptiBiotix Limited, commented: "We are very pleased to announce our BRC accreditation which supports our commercial strategy of selling final product solutions to partners in the retail channel containing our science backed pro and prebiotic ingredients. I am particularly proud of our team which achieved this accreditation in a relatively short period of time."
