I was told that there was an 18" minimum for the distance from walls to packaging material (food contact) but was unable to find anything of the sort in the BRC 7 manual. Does anybody have any insight on if this is an actual regulation or if the thought is that the area behind just needs to be cleaned and prove to be able to clean for the audits? Also, all boxes and other materials used in packaging needs to be up off the ground correct? Does a sheet of cardboard work or does it need to be pallets?
Thanks
