For 19 consecutive years, we have held BRCGS certification. This year, we didn't just renew it
— we achieved an AA rating, the highest possible score under the BRCGS Global Food Safety
Standard, with zero major non-conformities across nine core sections and 265 compliance
points.

‍
That's not a number we're proud of once a year during audit season. It's the result of how we
operate every single day.

What BRCGS AA Means

‍

BRCGS is one of the most rigorous food safety standards in the world and a requirement for
suppliers to leading retail and foodservice buyers globally. An AA rating places Born in a select
group of suppliers who don't just meet the expectations of Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI)
buyers — they exceed them.

‍
For our partners, it means immediate clarity: when you source from Born, you are sourcing from
a supplier that has been independently verified at the highest level.

Food Safety as Culture

‍

The AA rating didn't come from a compliance checklist. It came from a culture we've been
building for nearly two decades.

‍
Our internal initiative — Todos Somos BRC (We Are All BRC) — has trained more than 50 staff
members in proactive food safety, empowering every person on our team to take ownership of
the standard. Not just the compliance department. Everyone.

‍
"Food safety isn't just something we do during audits — it's part of our DNA." — Christopher
Safieh, Founder of Born.

‍

This Is What Born Was Built For.

‍
When we launched Born Farms, it was rooted in the belief that everything starts at the source.
An AA rating is proof that from the field to the packing line, every step of our operation is built to
deliver produce that is safe, traceable, and consistent — every time.
