Hi all
I am currently working through section 5.4. of the BRC V7 standard. I am trying to complete the vulnerability assessment for our raw materials. We produce prepared vegetable products (i.e. vegetables filled with various crumb based toppings and cheeses). We grow our own vegetables and purchase the additional crumb toppings pre-prepared from our supplier (who is now certified under BRC V7), therefore we have a very simple production process.
My question is as follows; seeing as we do not mix the toppings ourselves, do I have to go through each of the ingredients in the crumb and evaluate their individual risk of fraud/adulteration even though our supplier will have done this as part of their own assessment as the manufacturer? I would still need to evaluate the risk of fraud by our actual supplier separately.
Thanks in advance!
