BRC Voluntary Module 9
What is Voluntary Module 9?
Module 9 – Management of Foods Materials for Animal Feed- is an additional voluntary module to the BRC Global Standards for Food Safety. It fills the gap in the supply chain by providing assurance between the food manufacturer and the animal feed processor.
The purpose of the module is to uphold the highest standards of safety and ensure compliance with legislation right across the supply chain. Importantly the new module recognises that surplus foodstuffs are not waste, but a valuable feed material.
Who does it apply to?
The new module is applicable to food manufacturers whose primary output is food products for human consumption. It covers all food products and by-products of food production that are supplied, directly or indirectly, to animal feed processors and on to the animal feed industry.
What are the benefits of the module?
This voluntary module fills a gap in the chain of assurance between the food manufacture and the former foodstuffs processor and significantly reduces the need for audits of the food manufacturer by certified animal feed processors. This delivers increased confidence in the supply chain and reduces audit costs and time for the manufacturer.
