Hi consultant,

You will probably have to study/evaluate your flowchart as related to the BRC system in BRC8 Standard's Appendix.

Agree with Charles.C, you need to evaluate risk associated with the sieving process.

IMO this step comes under high risk area coz you are opening 25 Kg bulk pack and dumping in some large container which then conveyed to small pack sizes. If this is the case then you are exposing the milk powder to environment. But it all depends on your risk assessment.

Don't forget to address the sieve apparatus.  We have had customers come to us with pieces of screens in their product looking for our sieving control system.  Currently it this to be high risk.
