BRCGS Packaging Materials Issue 7 Is Here: Prepare for Change
January 27, 2025
BRCGS Packaging Materials Issue 7 was published on 28 October 2024, and will be used for all audits conducted from 28 April 2025. Get ready for the changes with support from NSF.
The BRCGS Global Standard Packaging Materials helps a site or operation to demonstrate they are providing products that are quality assured, legally compliant, and authentic. The standard has become the global industry benchmark and is not only used by food packaging producers, but also by producers of packaging for all applications, across the supply chain. The updates arose following a review of current trends and issues in the sector, and how best the standard can meet the requirements of the industry.
Key changes in Issue 7
- Focus on continual improvement
- Risk assessment
- Allergen management
