Thanks Chris Charles but I read it now twice.
The first link (http://www.ifsqn.com...ier/#entry86732) is dated March 2015 and it's make no mention of packaging
The second link is in 2014 before the new regulation in BRC v7 which I'm looking for an answer.
Hi Ricardo,
(1) Go to 2015 thread (No. 24641)
(2) Go to post 10.
(3) Realize that the ingredients and packaging = raw materials = inputs = risk assessment required.
(4) Go to post 7 (not mandatory but may be useful to read post 7 also)
(5) open 2nd sublink in post 7 to yield thread No.18187
(6) Go to post 7 in thread No.18187
(7) Read post 7 and (optionally) perhaps the earlier posts also.
(8) Use the excel attached in post 7 as a template after slight adjustment of captions/text to accommodate BRC7, eg to allow inclusion of “packaging”, “fraud” , (perhaps) “legality” (whatever that means)(was already present in BRC6 for which this excel was apparently ok). Choose yr risk criteria for H/M/L. I would anticipate that an appropriately validatable “Food Grade” packaging specification should “assure” a low risk category within the context of the columns present (also refer back to post 10's Guidance)
(9) Realize that the excel as modified can probably be fed back into BRC7 using the procedure of 2014 thread (No. 23611), eg as per post 7 et seq. (unverified).
Hope that helps.
PS - note that BRC7 is now confirmed to not require a vulnerability assessment for packaging
