Ingredient analysis (raw material assessment)

hello all,

i was wondering , if a company receives an analysis bulletin for raw material (ingredients) , with the microbiological and chimical data , is it necessary to re-do the analysis according to brc ?

thank you again 

Hi selmaassili,

​the bulletin you recive i  it a COA and what type of product is it?  because if it a raw ingredient and the it is mix it with other ingredients then you will have to show you have being doing some micro testing.

this is what brc says"There shall be a scheduled programme of testing covering products and the processing environment, which may include microbiological, chemical, physical and organoleptic testing according to risk. The methods, frequency and specified limits shall be documented"

 Thanks

(there are several alternative procedures on the forum with similar objectives)
