BRCGS Global Standard for Food Safety Issue 9 3.5.1.1: A documented risk assessment of every raw material and primary packaging covering the seven risk types

What does 3.5.1.1 require?

The company must assess the risk presented by each raw material (individually or grouped) and by primary packaging, covering allergens, foreign bodies, microbiological contamination, chemical contamination, cross-contamination between varieties or species, substitution or fraud, and any risk subject to legislation or customer requirements, and taking account of how much the material matters to final product quality. The assessment is the basis for the acceptance and testing procedure and for supplier approval, is kept up to date and is reviewed at least once a year.
