The accepted audit schemes for these audits include BRCGS (British Retail Consortium Global Standards), SQF (Safe Quality Food), IFS (International Featured Standards), and FSSC 22000 (Food Safety System Certification 22000).</p>\n                  <p>QCI Global is a Costco approved Certification Body. As a Costco approved Certification Body, QCI Global can provide combined audits that include both a GFSI (Global Food Safety Initiative) certification and a Costco Addendum audit.
