Hi egonwie,

I suggest you Google -

"food safety BRC9 new additions" (minus the inverted commas)

Lots of answers.

As Charles has mentioned, there are a variety of websites and blog posts discussing the new elements.

BRCGS themselves also publish a "Guide to Key Changes" document, giving a clause-by-clause breakdown with the new parts highlighted. This can be purchased from their online bookshop here: https://www.brcgs.co...hanges/p-12230/

Hi egonwie79,

BRCGS Global Standard for Food Safety Issue 9 main changes include:

Requirements for further development of product safety culture

Updated section 2 The food safety plan - HACCP as per Codex General Principles of Food Hygiene 2020

Updated requirements for internal audits, root cause analysis, preventive actions and incident management

Clarification on Outsourced Processing

Extensive update of Section 6 Equipment

Clarification for sites completing animal primary conversion and producing animal feed

Wording changed from integrity to authenticity throughout the standard

Addition requirements for X-Ray Detector Testing

A Product Development Procedure is now required

Requirement for knowledgeable personnel to carry out vulnerability assessments

Section 5.8 now Pet food and animal feed

New Section 5.9 Animal primary conversion containing requirements that were previously in a separate position statement

There are lots of other minor changes so it is worth buying the Guide to Key Changes if you specifically want to know the difference between Issue 8 and Issue 9.

Kind regards,

Tony
