SUPERMARKETS under Metro Retail Stores Group Inc. (MRSGI) received recertification for Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) from the Societe Allergen de Surveillance (SGS) Philippines, a leading inspection, verification, testing and certification company.
Only three supermarkets in the country hold this accreditation, two of which are MRSGI stores with Metro Supermarket Alabang being the first to be GMP and HACCP certified.
The international certifications boost Metro’s reputation as a premier retailer with a choice selection of products and services.
GMP and HACCP are two separate systems, both designed to guarantee the safety of food, chemicals and petrochemicals. These systems are based on the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC). CAC is a set of food safety guidelines jointly undertaken by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the World Health Organization.
