Food product specifications
To discuss your needs
Food quality specifications are guidelines that are used to help develop food and drink products. Written by manufacturers and retailers from the industry, these cover product colour, flavour, and texture, as well as tolerances for specific defects.
Food quality specifications can be used as a standard in their own right, or as a basis for companies to negotiate their own quality standards.
Applicable to both UK and imported food products, these specifications were written and validated by Campden BRI industrial Working Parties (specification clubs) which include representatives from food manufacturers, caterers, importers, distributors, co–operatives and retailers. Using text and tables these are practical guides to quality standards, which are unambiguous and easy to interpret. Where appropriate, illustrations are used to clarify terms and definitions used.
