Hi
The new BRC v7 standard has a new requirement for ambient high-care areas.
While the standard includes definitions for "high-care product" and "high-risk product", it does not for "ambient high-care product".
Is it safe to assume that a suitable definition for "ambient high-care product" is the same as for "High-care product" but without chilled/frozen storage?
ie "A product that does not require chilling or freezing during storage, is vulnerable to the growth of pathogens,has received a process to reduce the microbiological contamination to safe levels (typically 1-2 log reduction) and is ready to eat or heat"?
What types of products would be typical of ambient high-care products?
Many thanks for your advice.
