Thanks Charles.C,
I guess I should have explained myself a little better. What I am wondering is if our grape growers need to be HACCP approved to satisfy our winery BRC & IFS auditors or if we can purely manage our growers on a risk assessment basis without them having to be certified to HACCP codex.
Thanks,
Section 3.5 in BRC issue 6 covers suppliers and raw materials.
You should have a procedure or program that covers supplier approval and monitoring their performance, this can be done by 3rd party audits, your own supplier audit or supplier questionaires.
