Hello,
I have recently switched jobs, moved from meat to fish industry and have a question with regards to accreditation.
I am currently reviewing the supplier approval procedure and list. We are committed to only source our raw materials from BRC accredited sites, or equivalent.
One of our potential suppliers stated that they are not BRC accredited, however they are audited by MAST which is supposedly recognised in Iceland. I have never heard of it before and was wondering whether it can be considered as equivalent to BRC accreditation.
Have any of you come across it and are you able to tell me more about it please?
"MAST is an inspection and administrative body and the Competent Authority (CA) in Iceland in the field of food safety, animal health and welfare, control of feed, seed and fertilisers, plant health and water for human consumption"
Regards,
M.
