BRCGS Global Standard for Food Safety Issue 9 3.9.3: 3.9.3 Traceability tested at least annually across product groups with a mass balance, achievable within four hours

The site must test its traceability across its product groups, tracing from supplier to finished product and back again. The test includes a quantity check or mass balance covering food raw materials, finished products, and printed packaging and labels that carry safety or legal information, and records a summary of the documents used and how they link. Testing happens at least once a year and the results are kept; traceability should be possible to complete within 4 hours.

What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 2 controls across 1 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

  • FV-GFS 08.01 FV-GFS 08.01 Sales records are available for all quantities sold for all registered products.
  • FV-GFS 08.02 FV-GFS 08.02 Quantities (produced, stored, and/or purchased) are recorded and summarized for all products.

Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.
