    This document compares three GFSI packaging standards: BRCGS, SQF, and FSSC 22000. BRCGS has a wider scope that includes packaging materials and printed/processed goods. It focuses on product safety, quality, and operations. SQF and FSSC only focus on product safety for primary packaging materials. BRCGS uses a single audit stage while SQF and FSSC use two stages. BRCGS is accredited under the ISO 17065 scheme while SQF and FSSC use the ISO 17021 scheme.
