Section 5: Product control – BRCGS Global Standard for Food Safety Issue 9
BRCGS Global Standard for Food Safety Issue 9 5.6.1: 5.6.1 A scheduled, risk-based product testing programme with documented methods, sampling, frequency and limits
There must be a scheduled product testing programme that, according to risk, covers microbiological, chemical, physical and organoleptic tests, with the methods, the sampling processes (including how samples reach a laboratory), the frequencies and the specified limits all documented.
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 32.07.02 FV-GFS 32.07.02 A risk assessment for all registered products has been completed and the maximum residue level (MRL) requirements of the applicable market(s) are met.
FV-GFS 32.07.03 FV-GFS 32.07.03 The correct maximum residue level (MRL) sampling and testing procedures are followed.
