As of April 2025, all BRCGS Packaging audits have moved to Issue 7, and by now most of us are either through our first audit or prepping for the 2026 cycle. The shift from 'CCP' to 'Critical Control Measures' and the heavier focus on HARA (Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment) has been a significant pivot for many.

I’d love to hear your experiences so far:
  • How are you finding the new mandatory Environmental Monitoring requirements for packaging? Is it proving to be a 'value-add' or just another cost?
  • For those who’ve had an audit: how did the auditor assess your Product Safety Culture plan? It feels like they are looking for much more than just a poster on the wall this year!
Let’s swap tips on the new 'Blended Audit' option—is anyone actually using the remote component yet?
