Hello I don´t understand what BRC want with this clause "Where raw materials or products are identified as being at particular risk, the threat assessment plan shall include controls to mitigate these risks. Where prevention is not sufficient or possible, systems shall be in place to identify any tampering.
These controls shall be monitored, the results documented, and the controls reviewed at least annually".
Hi Maria,
This is an alternative approach to that in Post 2.
BRC8 added above text as part of a general section revision in Issue 8.
BRC's re-organisation of the section was probably inspired by the UK's PAS 96 document.which is linked below although the food fraud aspect (EMA/VACCP) was separated out by BRC -
https://www.ifsqn.co...-8/#entry142027
the clause 4.2.2 is intended to follow the risk assessment in preceding 4.2.1 for which an example TACCP template is here -
https://www.ifsqn.co...ed/#entry121857
(note that the excel format is modeled on tables in the PAS96 document whose own examples may also be helpful)
(note that for BRC8, the "fraudulent" entries in template are a response to "vulnerability assessment-BRC" rather than "Food Defence -BRC")
(note also the section on "tampering" in the PAS 96 document)
Some pathways to hypothesising potential threats are exampled in the pdf file linked here -
https://www.ifsqn.co...-8/#entry141566
(eg for current clause interest - pg 7 et seq)
(note that various useful portions of the above pdf are "borrowed" into the excel linked here -
https://www.ifsqn.co...nts/#entry66299
PS - note that the template also overlaps 4.2.3
The BRC interpretation Guidelines are moderately helpful on this section.
