What BRCGS Food Safety requires
Compliance with the BRCGS Global Standard Food Safety Issue 9 mandates a comprehensive, proactive management system, fundamentally rooted in senior management commitment as defined in Section 1. This commitment is evidenced through formal management reviews conducted at a maximum 12-month interval and support for a continuously active internal audit program. The operational core is a fully active food safety plan based on HACCP principles, detailed in Section 2, which must be rigorously maintained. Supporting this system, Clause 3.2 on document control extends to digital infrastructure, requiring active IT system backup and cybersecurity protocols. The stringent traceability mandate in Clause 3.9 necessitates the capability to retrieve all relevant information within a four-hour maximum during exercises, with full product recall tests performed at a 12-month interval. Furthermore, Clause 4.2 requires an active food defense assessment to mitigate intentional adulteration, while Clause 5.4 on product authenticity compels a documented food fraud vulnerability assessment at least every 12 months, reinforced by an active supplier approval procedure. System integrity is also validated through an active environmental monitoring program and record retention policies that mandate keeping documents for a product's shelf life plus an additional 12 months.
