Scope
We are certified to the Food standard blending dry ingredients, breadings and coatings etc. A customer has enquired about a blend that would be vitamin B12, Iron and a carrier (maltodextrin). Would this have to be audited under a different standard?
The answer is no, this would fit under the scope of food, so it would be audited under the food standard.
How do I access BRCGS Participate?
BRCGS provide all their standards, guidelines and position statements on BRCGS Participate. All certified sites can apply for access to this.
BRCGS Participate has now moved to a new platform hosted by their parent company LGC Assure. This means, that if you used to have access to the old participate system, you’ll now have to reapply to the new LGC one.
To do this, please request access LGC Assure here.
