Hello,
Label Rouge is a french quality label, rewarding high quality material. We could compare it to the Grade A seafood program from US DoC NMFS.
Label Rouge is a governmental label (Ministry of Agriculture) concerning unprocessed foodstuffs and agricultural products. Nowadays, you find mainly meat (poultry, pork, beef) certified Label Rouge on the french shelves.
At the begining, it has been set-up to promote the national agriculture.
Accredited CB can certify organizations (mainly groups of producers) if they meet the strict quality characteristics specific to the material covered by the Label: details of production, processing and monitoring process, sensory testing and profiles.
Hope it is clear.
Kind regards,

Hi Remi,
What about the “Label Rouge” – what does it take to do this? I know one plant in Madagascar that has the label rouge – is this a big deal?

ISO 22000 is a management system, international standard to support your FSMS. It pushes companies to provide results e.g. the main issue for retailers is that the company can select and implement the control measures they want, once they manage the risks identified and that the system meets the targets established.
Private standards such BRC and IFS, all is means e.g. investments. BUT, more and more nowadays, this "prerequisite" to be able to sold to retailers becomes less "trusted" by the retailers: they have a list of "approved" CB and some have their own requirements much more demanding !!
In conclusion, ISO 22000 very good for developing countries and to meet legal requirements but demanding on results and also on money (audit, competence). BRC very demanding on means and facilities but less trusted by the UK retailers.
Please note that IFS is a bit "better" than BRC as it integrates legal requirements such as traceability, GMO and allergens. but the standard is still a private one and only valuable if you process retailers' branded products.

I agree it's getting crazy - in Europe for example - the UK wants the BRC
(British Retail Consortium) standard while France and Germany want the IFS
International Food Standard system and they are almost the same but called
different names. Suggestion for those plants going for BRC certification -
ask for IFS certification to be done at the same time as this shouldn't cost
you much more.

Sometimes more is good. We need to keep food safety in the forefront. We can
not afford not to look at different points of view. Different views keeps us
on our toes. We must manage our time and efforts wisely.

I seem to spend a lot of time being accredited to one quality system or
another and then meeting with Processors who complain that there are so many
systems that they have to become documenters for each system with differing
needs.
Any comments on relative merits of the differing systems ?
(without especially trashing systems by name)
My two cents, for what it is worth, is that ISO 22000 will probably replace
everything else eventually. ( it has HACCP components so is on-topic)
Other views anyone?
