BRCGS: Global Standard Food Safety Issue 9 published
The Standard has been updated at regular intervals to reflect the latest thinking in food safety, and to encourage the adoption of the Standard worldwide. Certification against Issue 9 will commence in audits from 1 February 2023.
Two core themes of the new issue are developing food safety culture and building core competencies. Both of which we explore further in the articles below:
- Creating a Culture of Excellence - The vital importance of a strong product safety culture
- The business case for getting the basics right - Why focusing on core competencies is a recipe for success
BRCGS will be hosting a series of launch webinars and roadshows to ensure the food safety industry is up-to-date on the new issue. For those who will be implementing the new requirements, training courses are available through the BRCGS Academy and its global network of approved training partners. Whilst the launch webinars will provide an overview of the key changes, attending a training courses is the only way for personnel at certificated sites to learn the detail behind the standard and how to implement the requirements.
The new issue and supporting guidance is available for certificated sites to access through BRCGS Participate. Otherwise, a copy of the publications can be purchased via the BRCGS Store.
