Kind regards,
Tony
Thanks Tony.
One more thing can you maybe explain to me Raw Materials. What it is and the risk assessme ts I need to do. I just want to know what is viewed as raw materials. I do grape pack houses and some oranges and green peppers and cucumbers. I dont know how to approach the whole raw matarial thing.

Hi Jani,
The BRC definition is: Raw material Any base material or semi-finished material used by the organisation for the manufacture of a product. Raw material includes packaging material.
Clearly your fruits and vegetables would still need to meet supplier assurance, risk assessment and monitoring requirements as per clauses:
3.5 SUPPLIER AND RAW MATERIAL APPROVAL AND PERFORMANCE MONITORING
3.5.1 MANAGEMENT OF SUPPLIERS OF RAW MATERIALS AND PACKAGING
3.5 SUPPLIER AND RAW MATERIAL APPROVAL AND PERFORMANCE MONITORING
3.5.1 MANAGEMENT OF SUPPLIERS OF RAW MATERIALS AND PACKAGING
3.5.2 RAW MATERIAL AND PACKAGING ACCEPTANCE AND MONITORING PROCEDURES
e.g. from BRC Guidance - Interpretation Acceptance of raw materials:
The acceptance or goods-in system must include a documented procedure which requires checks to be completed and any non-conformities recorded.
The procedure should document who is authorised to accept conforming materials and reject non-conforming batches, and the action to be taken.
In addition to checking the accuracy of the order to ensure the correct materials, grades and quantities have been delivered, specific checks will be based on the risk assessment (refer to clause 3.5.1.1) and the specification (refer to clauses 3.6.1 to 3.6.4).
