Hi SheenaQA&BRCGS,
From BRCGS Global Standard for Food Safety Issue 9 Clause 6.1.7 Guidance:
Examples of products outside of scope include, but are not limited to:
• by-products of the manufacturing process, which are not permitted to be included in the scope of the Standard (e.g. materials taken for non-food use)
• exclusions from scope (in accordance with section 1.6.2 of the audit protocol).
Examples of materials taken for non-food use that come to mind are things like coconut husk and feathers.
Kind regards,
Tony
