What's inside
BRCGS Issue 9 raises the bar across food safety culture, HACCP validation, site standards and more. This self-assessment checklist maps every key requirement at clause level, so you can walk through each section systematically and know exactly where you stand before audit day.
Sections covered:
- Section 1 — Senior management commitment and food safety culture
- Section 2 — HACCP and the food safety plan
- Section 3 — Quality management system
- Section 4 — Site standards
- Section 5 — Product control
- Section 6 — Animal feed and animal primary conversion (if applicable)
How it works
Score each requirement as Yes, Partial or No. Add notes on where your evidence lives. Use the summary table at the end to spot your highest-priority gaps — particularly any No scores in Sections 1, 2 or 3, which carry the greatest risk of generating major non-conformances under Issue 9.
