SafetyCore and FoodDocs both help food businesses manage HACCP digitally, but they target different segments. FoodDocs serves a broad international market across foodservice, retail and manufacturing — over 30,000 users spanning the US, UK and Europe. SafetyCore is purpose-built for UK food manufacturers and animal feed producers operating to BRC Issue 9, SALSA and GFSI standards.
UK food manufacturers and animal feed producers who need a HACCP system aligned to BRC Issue 9 Section 2, with multi-site governance, an immutable audit trail, and animal feed support (EC 183/2005, Codex CAC/GL 80).
Foodservice operators, small retailers, and businesses across multiple regions looking for a quick-to-set-up digital HACCP plan with broad applicability rather than UK-manufacturer specificity.

Only if you're a UK food manufacturer or animal feed producer working to BRC, SALSA or GFSI standards. If you operate restaurants, cafés or multi-region foodservice locations, FoodDocs covers that segment and SafetyCore does not.
No. SafetyCore is a HACCP governance and compliance platform — it manages your HACCP plan, hazard analysis, CCP definitions, PRPs and audit trail. It does not capture live process data from factory-floor sensors. If you need sensor integration for monitoring fridges or storage, FoodDocs covers that.
SafetyCore charges £150 per site per month with unlimited users — same price whether you have 3 or 30 people on a site. FoodDocs uses tiered pricing that varies by location count and features. For multi-user single manufacturing sites, SafetyCore is typically more cost-effective.
SafetyCore was designed around BRC Issue 9 Section 2 requirements from day one. FoodDocs is a generic HACCP platform that does not specifically map to BRC clauses. If passing a BRC audit is the primary driver, SafetyCore is more tightly aligned.
