Hi all. We manufacture and package liquids in containers, alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages. Our BRC scope includes the types of beverages detailed fairly specifically. Management wish to package (and potentially sell) a beverage type not specifically covered by the scope. We didn't foresee this prior to our last audit, otherwise we'd have included it in the scope and audit.
The beverage they wish to produce would be produced with all the usual food and quality standards, and meet regulatory requirements in the domestic market. The question is, what are the implications of producing a product outside the scope of accreditation - I've never had this before. Can we have a minor scope amendment without re audit? Do we need to re audit?
