How BRCGS Audits Are Conducted (Clause 1.1.11)

Ever wonder how BRCGS audits actually work? Gone are the days of auditors simply chatting with the quality manager. Today’s audits are all about diving deeper into company culture and engagement.

The latest BRCGS Food Standard introduces Clause 1.1.11, focusing on senior management commitment to food safety.

This means auditors won’t just assess documents; they’ll be talking to people at all levels, from supervisors to line staff. Why? Because food safety isn’t just the quality manager’s job – it’s everyone’s responsibility.

▶️ Get ready for a more thorough audit experience. Auditors will be:

• Walking the facility: Observing processes and interactions first-hand.
• Interviewing staff: From managers to line workers, everyone has a voice.
• Having open discussions: Understanding how food safety is integrated into daily routines.

▶️ This is your cue, technical and quality managers! Be prepared to:

• Explain and demonstrate compliance: Show the auditor how your team implements food safety procedures.
• Highlight company commitment: Share how senior management supports and fosters a culture of food safety.

BRCGS audits are all about uncovering the true picture of your food safety practices. Be open, transparent, and showcase the collective effort that makes your company shine.
