Hi Mohamed,

 

The PRPs you require for Food BRC7 will particularly relate to your Product / Process (??).

 

IIRC Tony has previously posted a "generic" list as used in his IFSQN BRC, FS Package.

 

A comprehensive PRP set developed for use in (food) FSSC22000 is available in the Standard ISO22002-1.

 

Maybe you could post yr current list for comments ?

Hi Mohamed,

 

From BRC7 Standard

Prerequisite programmes  The basic environmental and operational conditions in a food business that are necessary for the production of safe food. These control generic hazards covering good manufacturing and good hygienic practice as detailed in Part II, sections 4–7.

 

 

Yr query is covered in some detail for BRC6 here -

 

http://www.ifsqn.com...s-the-standard/

(I anticipate BRC6 will be fairly similar to BRC7 in this regard)

 

PS - Note that the interpretation of which activities are to be included within the category of  "Prerequisite Programs" can vary between Standards,  individual users, etc.

Hello Charles,

2.    Calibration.

3.    Suppliers approval. 

4.    Training.

Hi Mohamed,

 

Well, just for starters, from a very quick look, the red ones below seem to be missing -

 

Cleaning and sanitising
Pest control
Maintenance programmes for building and equipment
Personal hygiene requirements
Training
Purchasing
Transport arrangements
Processes to prevent cross-contamination
Allergen controls
