Eagle Offers New Guide for Building a Food Safety Culture as Required by BRC Issue 8
As food and beverage companies address recent updates to the BRC Food Safety Standards, Eagle Product Inspection offers a new Guide to Creating a Food Safety Culture.
One significant clause in the new Issue 8 of the BRC Food Safety Standard makes food safety culture a compulsory requirement. Although food safety has long been at the forefront of industry practices and protocols, the collaborators who worked on Issue 8 agreed that something was “missing”, namely, a vertical food safety culture shaped and spearheaded by senior management with open and ongoing communications across an organization. “Creating a food safety culture goes beyond the important and necessary practices that have been in place in many companies, and includes a broad mindset in which food safety is part of the culture: every shift, every employee and every product check,” says Christy Draus, marketing manager for Eagle Product Inspection.
