Can someone please explain what makes a facility High Care and High Risk under GFSI?

Hi all,,

Can someone please explain what makes a facility High CARE or High Risk. if they are High CARE or High Risk, what requirements from a GFSI perspective are required.   Does high risk affect the positive releae program or environmental program or any other pre-requisite programs?

Thank you,

Any particular GFSI Scheme you are looking into? 

BRC, SQF, FSSC and IFS.

There are many discussions on here that discuss the difference. You can write "high risk high care" in the left top search box.

BRC also highlight the differences:  https://www.scsgloba..._standard_8.pdf

Oh also IFSQN has this: https://www.ifsqn.co...care-areas-r209

Hope it helps :)

BRCGS V8 defines high care and high risk zones in appendix 2, from page 89 of the standard. There's a decision tree on page 93 that makes it fairly clear. It's a bit much to screenshot, but I've attached the standard to this post.
