The Impact of BRC Food 7: Most Common Non-ConformitiesTraceGains
The 7th issue of the BRC Global Standard for Food Safety began audits July 1, 2015, and we now have almost 2 months’ worth of results. The information coming back paints a picture of readiness of sites for the changes, and a picture of what they have had to prepare for successful continuation of certification is forming.
The session will cover the most significant changes the 7th issue brought forward, why they were included, what BRC expected, and what impact the changes are actually having on the industry.
Specifically, the session will focus on:
-The top non-conformities seen in issue 7 audits
-Strategies for your operation to learn from these early audits
-What changes have been made, and why they make the BRC Global Standards the leading certification for food safety.
BRC is the leading and most recognized of the GFSI benchmarked programs, and is used at manufacturing sites, and by customers as a leading certification around the world. John Kukoly, our presenter, is the head of BRC activities in the Americas.

GMP- is an essential element of industries like pharmaceutical, cosmetic, Ayurveda, biotech, homeopathic, medical device and food manufacturing. GMP in itself is the most dynamic part which witnesses frequent changes in terms of newer rules being added and older ones being renewed. Keeping self updated with current GMPs thus becomes inevitable to stay abreast with the changing industry needs and practices.
Our group of learned professionals from above mentioned sectors of the pharma and healthcare industries have put together their knowledge; know about and practical experiences in form of this GMP guide. IGMPI is moving hand in hand with technology advances and has gained recognition as stronger and better training & distance and e-learning platform provider for pharmaceutical and healthcare professionals in the aeas of GMP, Quality Assurance and Control, Pharma and healthcare Regulatory Affairs, Clinical Research, Pharmaceutical IPR and Good Laboratory Practice and Product Management. The importance of quality healthcare is known to our founders and thus numerous efforts are being made to offer friendly but effective and easy online/distance sources of GMP information, Quality Assurance and Control, Pharma and healthcare Regulatory Affairs, Clinical Research, Pharmaceutical IPR and Good Laboratory Practice in form of online seminars, distance/online courses as well as training programmes along with knowledge of worldwide affairs of the industry; in short a round-the-clock help for any information in these areas needed by anybody from around the world. Based on high standard of quality, the training programmes in Pharma and healthcare GMP, Quality Assurance and Quality Control, Regulatory Affairs, IPR, Pharma Product Management etc areas have been approved and certified by Quality Council of India.
The IGMPIs team of technology experts and other Industry advisors together pursue to make cGMP knowledge, training in the area of Pharma and healthcare manufacturing easily accessible, through this platform.

Presentation - G Howlett - BRC Issue 6 Seminarsafefood360
The BRC Global Standard for Food Safety has undergone extensive revision. As of the 1st January 2012 all existing and new food businesses certified to the standard will be audited against the requirements of Issue 6. As you prepare for your upcoming audit it is important to understand what changes have occurred in the requirements and how best to address them.

You will also get practical advice on how to get started on revising your system. The webinar is free and there will be plenty of time for Q&A and networking at the end of the session.
Campden BRI and Alchemy in partnership with BRC, SGS, SQF and TSI have released the results of the fourth annual global survey of food safety training. The survey questioned food and drink manufacturers and processors worldwide to identify the needs, effectiveness and challenges of food safety training in the industry.
The results reveal some interesting trends:
Improving food safety culture was the top training goal for almost 80% of those surveyed
Many companies are not exploiting the specialist expertise available in their HR departments
Traditional training methods are still favored over online methods

-How can you proactively monitor and manage your suppliers?
-Debra Krug-Reyes of ConAgra will discuss the need for food safety programs at packaging suppliers.
-George Gansner of IFS will then talk about the role and importance of the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) and International Featured Standards.
This webinar will reveal the history of the IFS PACsecure standard, focus on the benefits of certification to the supplier and customer, as well as review the tools available in support of certification which include HACCP implementation workbooks designed specifically for the sector for which it applies (glass, metal, rigid plastic, flexible plastic, and paper – corrugated, paper board, etc.).
About the IFS PACsecure standard:
Since 2003, IFS has built its presence around the world as a leading standard in the food supply chain, and in 2013, IFS PACsecure was added to the family of GFSI benchmarked certifications. This standard for primary and secondary packaging materials was developed to provide packaging converters the opportunity to certify their systems and products with a HACCP-based approach, using risk-based methodology.
Developed jointly by the food and packaging industry in North America with the guidance of the Packaging Consortium, the IFS PACsecure standard is now globally viable and meets GFSI customer requirements.
