High care/ high risk & low care zoning in BRC

I wanted your views on the possibility of classifing the whole fish processing zone as high care area based on the Production zone decision tree of BRC.

Hi Shireen,

I believe this will depend on whether your product is cooked by the customer?

Production Zone Decision Tree

Step 1 Products are exposed to the environment
Step 2 The product supports the growth of pathogens
Step 3 Does the area contain products which on the basis of cooking instructions undergo full cooking prior to consumption? Yes - Low Risk Area
No - Step 4 Have all vulnerable products received, prior to entry into the area, a heat treatment equivalent to 70 C for 2 minutes?
No - High Care Area
Yes - High Risk Area

Regards,

Tony
