Product integrity and legality

Goodday Saferpakers,
In the BRC IoP standard issue 2, two new subjects are mentioned under paragraph 3.1.1. Product integrity and legality. I would interpret these as follows:
Product integrity: critical quality defects that can compromise food safety, it is the product you promised to the customer
Product legality: the product complies with European and local legislation
Is this an acceptable point of view or am I totally wrong?

Repackaging of Food Grade product
Is there a minimum PPM of nitrites necessary to deem a product food safe when curing meats?

How would I verify my HACCP Plan for new product?

Dear Okido,
Having just passed the BRC / IoP inspection recently, I led the auditor along the same views as you say, however I would also consider non conformance to agreed specification from your supplier in respect to Product Integrity (in-coming goods checks should be able to verify this).
On the Product Legality issue, do you distribute perhaps in small quantities other packaging materials purchased from another supplier in bulk? and have they a trade mark that perhaps requires to be passed along with the small quantities shipped to your customer, if so this will have to be verified (dispach records may be a good way of recording this if it happens).
Good luck and best regards,
Steve

Intestines - Edible Meat Product?
Can I use up current packaging or is new required if the product formulation has changed?
What are the quality parameters that need to be included in the product specification sheet?
SQF 2.6.1.2 Product changeover and label reconciliation records
What are the elements that need to be included in the final product specification?
