BRC Global Standard for Food Safety Issue 7 - initial results
A review of the initial audits carried out against the BRC Global Standard for Food Safety Issue 7 shows a rise in the numbers of nonconformities raised against the packaging control clauses, reflecting the greater focus given to this area. Clause 5.4.2 (vulnerability assessment) is also a frequently occurring nonconformity as sites work to put effective systems in place. Understanding Vulnerability Assessment is a guideline which has been published to provide clarification for sites and auditors on interpretation of these clauses, and is available on BRC Participate or to buy from the BRC Bookshop.
