BRCGS LAUNCHES FOOD SAFETY ISSUE 9

The 9th issue of BRCGS Food Safety has been released today, Monday 1st August, and in this latest version, BRCGS is calling for more to be done to reduce non-conformities (NCs) against food standards across the industry.

To help inform the updated Standard, BRCGS conducted an industry-wide consultation to understand stakeholders’ requirements, plus a review of emerging issues in the food industry. This highlighted several concerns regarding supply chains and associated risks to businesses. Commonly cited concerns touched on issues such as hygiene standards, allergen controls and contamination, traceability, food fraud, and labelling and claims.

Issue 9 leans heavily towards encouraging the development of a strong product safety culture. Within this, the foundation for success is recognition of the critical core competencies that must be in place, and receiving continual focus and improvement, before an organisation turns its attention to the attitudes and behaviours that constitute its overarching culture.

BRCGS is collaborating with a number of delivery partners in a series of launch webinars for the Global Standard Food Safety Issue 9. These webinars will provide you with an introduction to the new issue of the standard, provide information around the key changes and prepare you in terms of the next steps. See the full schedule and register for your place here.

If your audit is due to take place on, or after, the 1st February 2023, you will be audited against version 9.
