Is this clause triggered if it is related to product specifically excluded from the BRCGS audit scope?

 

3.11.4 - In the event of a significant food safety, authenticity or legality incident, including a product recall, regulatory food safety non-conformity (e.g. a regulatory enforcement notice) or food safety-related withdrawal, the certification body issuing the current certificate for the site against this Standard shall be notified within 3 working days. The company shall then provide sufficient information to enable the certification body to assess any effects of the incident on the ongoing validity of the current certificate within 21 calendar days. As a minimum, this shall include corrective action, root cause analysis and a preventive action plan.

Yes, as the facility is certified not the product

That's what I say too...

Yes, in agreement with others.

 

Here's a fun twist on this. You all remember when a large mid-west egg producer some years back got into a big problem with excessive chicken waste and ended up with a massive recall.

 

Now. they had something like 15 locations with some bring SQF certified - not this one however.

 

Well. news media catches wind that the company is SQF certified and contacts SQFI directly. of course SQF has no idea about the situation because as I mentioned this location was not SQF certified - thus NO notification... but it did create a very big debacle.

 

In that case it was suggested that even if a location is not SQF but others in the same company are that a notification be made anyway, explaining the situation and make not that this particular facility is not SQF certified.
