As global buyers tighten quality requirements and food safety compliance becomes a decisive factor in supplier selection, certified processing and transparent quality control systems are no longer optional.
At SVC, international certifications and strict QC protocols form the backbone of every export shipment, ensuring that Vietnamese cashew products meet the highest global standards.
This article provides an inside look at how SVC applies BRC, FSPCA, and global QC protocols across its production and export operations.
📜 1. BRC Certification – Benchmark for Global Retail
BRC (British Retail Consortium) certification is widely recognized by major retailers and importers worldwide.
At SVC, BRC standards govern:
- Factory hygiene and zoning
- Personnel safety and training
- Process documentation and traceability
- Risk management and corrective actions
BRC compliance allows SVC to supply directly to supermarket chains and private-label programs in the EU, UK, and other developed markets.
🛡️ 2. FSPCA – Meeting U.S. Food Safety Expectations
FSPCA (Food Safety Preventive Controls Alliance) certification is a core requirement for exporters entering the U.S. market under FSMA regulations.
SVC’s FSPCA implementation includes:
- Preventive control planning
- Hazard analysis for biological, chemical, and physical risks
- Supplier verification programs
- Continuous monitoring and record-keeping
This framework ensures that cashew kernels, roasted products, and flavored SKUs consistently meet FDA food safety expectations.
🔍 3. Multi-Layer Quality Control System
SVC applies a multi-stage QC process throughout production:
- Raw material inspection (moisture, foreign matter, outturn)
- In-process checks during shelling, peeling, and grading
- Color sorting and defect removal
- X-ray and metal detection
- Final inspection before packing
Each batch is documented and traceable from raw input to finished product.
🧪 4. Key Quality Parameters Monitored at SVC
Global buyers place strong emphasis on measurable quality indicators. At SVC, QC teams closely monitor:
- Moisture level
- Kernel color and uniformity
- Breakage ratio
- Flavor consistency (for roasted and flavored lines)
- Packaging integrity
These parameters are aligned with AFI standards and buyer-specific specifications.
📦 5. Packaging & Pre-Shipment Control
Before shipment, SVC conducts:
- Carton integrity checks
- Label accuracy verification
- Barcode and batch code confirmation
- Palletization and container loading inspections
This step ensures stability during long-distance shipping and compliance with destination-market regulations.
🌍 6. Why Global Buyers Trust Certified Factories
International buyers increasingly prefer suppliers that offer:
- Recognized certifications
- Transparent QC documentation
- Consistent production outcomes
- Rapid response to quality feedback
With BRC, FSPCA, and a fully integrated QC system, SVC positions itself as a reliable long-term partner rather than a transactional supplier.
📌 Conclusion
In a competitive global market, quality assurance is the foundation of trust. By integrating international certifications with strict, measurable QC protocols, SVC ensures that every shipment reflects Vietnam’s capability to meet the highest food safety and quality standards worldwide.
