Non-Conformity Trends
In data recently shared by John Figgins, Senior Technical Manager for Food at BRCGS, we can see that many of the non-conformities recorded against BRCGS’s Food Safety V8 Standard have remained relatively consistent. This may be surprising, given the changing pressures of the pandemic and the expanded variety of audit options that it has resulted in, including remote audits or a blended combination of both remote assessment and on-site inspection. -
Most Common Non-Conformities
Many of the clauses which ranked among the most common non-conformities in 2019 continue to rank highly. In addition, clauses such as 4.11.1 (Premises and Equipment Hygiene), 4.4.8 (Doors) and 4.4.1 (Walls) have all become increasingly common. Clauses which were new to the version 8 Food Safety Standard and often resulted in non-conformities in 2019, such as 1.1.2 (Food Safety Culture Plan) and 1.1.6 (Confidential Reporting) have largely fallen down the list for 2020 as sites become stronger in satisfying the clause requirements.
