BRCGS Global Standard for Food Safety Issue 9 4.9.1.1: 4.9.1.1 Non-food chemicals controlled: approved list, safety data, suitability, scent, labelling, restricted storage, trained use

Processes must control how non-food chemicals are used, stored and handled so that they cannot contaminate product. As a minimum there must be an approved list for purchasing; safety data sheets and specifications; confirmation that each chemical is suitable for use in a food environment; avoidance of strongly scented products; containers that carry labels throughout; a designated store to which access is restricted, kept apart from chemicals used as ingredients; use only by trained staff; and procedures for dealing with spills and disposal.

  • FV-GFS 29.02.01 FV-GFS 29.02.01 Fertilizers and biostimulants are stored in an appropriate manner that does not compromise food safety.
  • FV-GFS 32.09.01 FV-GFS 32.09.01 Plant protection products (PPPs), biocontrol agents, and any other treatment products are stored in a manner that ensures the associated risks are managed.
  • FV-GFS 33.01.04 FV-GFS 33.01.04 Cleaning equipment, agents, lubricants, etc. are stored and used to prevent chemical contamination of products and are approved for application in the food industry.

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.
