The BRC Global Standard for Storage and Distribution is a Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) recognized certification program designed for companies that store and/or distribute food, consumer products and packaging material.
Certification to the BRC Storage and Distribution Standard is an internationally recognised mark of excellence, which verifies a site’s good distribution practices. The goal of the Standard is to ensure that the quality and safety of products during storage and distribution are maintained. Certification is granted when a site demonstrates compliance with all requirements of the Standard during a third-party audit conducted by a BRC approved certification body (CB). The BRC ensures confidence in certification by rating approved CBs based on their technical performance and efficiency in customer service. FoodChain ID Certification is a highly-rated, accredited CB approved by the BRC to certify sites against the BRC Storage and Distribution Standard.
BRC certification is recognized for its rigor and international acceptance, which helps raise the credibility of the site and reduce supply chain audits. Certified storage and distribution operations can gain access to new markets as certification assures companies that their products will be managed in a safe and legal manner protecting against loss from activities such as temperature abuse, physical damage, and theft. Additionally, certified sites will be publically listed in the BRC Directory marking the site’s achievement.
Standard requirements set forth an effective framework by which the site can better identify risks in its operation and threats to security. Requirements can also help improve operational efficiencies and reduce damage and waste through implementation of a quality management system. Finally, the Standard supports legal compliance and due diligence through contract, traceability and record keeping requirements.
Storage and distribution operations supplying companies with food, packaging and/or consumer products can benefit from BRC certification. Food products are particularly subject to contamination or adulteration if not managed in a controlled and secure environment. Operations managing food products at different points in the food supply chain (e.g. from grower to retailer or distribution centre to individual stores) can achieve the necessary level of control by implementing a product safety management system in compliance with the Storage and Distribution Standard. In many cases, retailers and other supply chain partners may require a site to achieve certification to provide assurance that products are managed in accordance with safe and legal practices.
To support the variety of services often performed by storage and distribution operations, sites may expand their product safety management system to include activities such as wholesaling, product inspection and contract packing and achieve certification against the relevant module. This demonstrates a site’s ongoing commitment to maintaining product safety and quality across the supply chain.
The cost of BRC certification depends on many factors regarding your facility, including the size of the facility and the scope that the certification needs to cover. To take the first steps in becoming BRC certified please contact us to assess the requirements of your business.

As a mixed person, it’s a strange position to be in to have your mother’s side of the family living in an (arguably) oppressed and poor country and know that only a few generations back, my father’s side of the family owned slaves and that that mentality has trickled into the present. My father’s side of the family is largely conservative and, in the recent political uproars, have voiced their opinions loudly against immigrants in spite of my existence in their world, knowing I wasn’t born on US soil. To them, I’m the liberal black sheep even though it should be plain to see that I **cannot** be agreeable to their opinions when I have family members that would love to live here too.A new study ties the plummeting monarch butterfly population to the rise of genetically modified crops in the United States. Research in the Journal of Animal Ecology finds monarch populations are far more sensitive to the threat of declining milkweed in their U.S. breeding grounds than they are to the loss of their winter habit from deforestation in Mexico. Milkweed plants have declined more than 20 percent in the U.S. corn belt, a key breeding area, largely because of GMO crops, the study found.
Here is the Western Monarch Status as of December 8th. There were approximately 2,500 monarch butterflies at the grove.
Once 80,000 butterflies could be found clinging to the Eucalyptus trees on Ellwood Mesa. Today they are all but gone.
Wouldn’t planting a few acres of milkweed assist in mitigating the decline? What would it take to start a campaign to preserve the western Monarch population at Ellwood Mesa?
Please help preserve this noble species of international travelers.
Thank you all for taking the time to address the issue of declining Monarch butterfly populations in North America.
As you will read, this issue is being brought to the attention of the national leaders of Canada, USA, and Mexico. I am unaware of this having happened in the past.
With regard to GMOs as a possible factor in the decline of Monarchs, here is an article that offers an additional source of concern to the Monarch populations, beyond those raised in the articles above:. “A study to be published in the May 20, 1999, Nature magazine finds that pollen from genetically engineered corn plants is toxic to monarch butterflies. The corn was genetically engineered to contain a toxin from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). In 1998, almost 20% of US corn acreage was planted with Bt corn as a means to control insects, and acreage is expected to increase in 1999.
Corn plants produce huge quantities of pollen, which dusts the leaves of plants growing near corn fields. The Nature study found that close to half the monarch caterpillars that fed on milkweed leaves dusted with Bt corn pollen died. Surviving caterpillars were about half the size of caterpillars that fed on leaves dusted with pollen from non-engineered corn.
I would like to propose that a coalition of concerned individuals sponsor a crowd-funded initiative to pay genetic scientists to create RoundUp resistant strains of milkweed, and have them planted nationally as a partial attempt at mitigation.
Anyone wishing to plant milkweed in their yards to attract and propagate Monarchs may send me a self-addressed-stamped-envelope, and I will send you some seeds. Here’s the address: Save the Santa Barbara Monarchs, PO Box 60936, Santa Barbara, CA 93160.

I am making some complext integration for other system and using Spring integration.
What I want to achieve is like following.
System  ::  A -> B -> C
① A -> B there are each seven integrations. 
② B have to check whether or not it recevies all 7 integration datas. 
③ then B decide to send summary data that extracted from those datas.

At ②, I can't find the way to implement this with spring integraiton.  at the first glance, I thought I can make it simply with aggregator pattern.  But now, I can't be sure about the traffic and how to make the logic to check.
please give some advice for making these things with spring integration. I want to avoid the way to implement with hardcoding. 

A: You can use release-strategy-expression="size() == 7". If you need more sophistication than that, then you will need to implement a custom release strategy.
