Practical tools and resources

Access practical resources for supplier information, site communication, confidential reporting, unit conversion and date reference across food manufacturing operations.

Access practical working resources

Choose from structured resources and quick-use utilities that support material review, site communication, confidential reporting, unit conversion and date reference activity.

A structured specification for capturing comprehensive raw material and supply-chain information.

Create a retained record of active access to listed information resources, with useful links for continued reference.

A confidential route for raising concerns connected to food manufacturing activity.

Quick-reference tools for unit conversion in technical, operational, specification and production-related activity.

Comprehensive raw material information capture

The Raw Material Specification helps food manufacturers request and capture detailed raw material and supply-chain information from suppliers in a structured format.

Use it to support a more demanding specification process, with information depth that can go beyond typical supplier documents and strengthen the information basis for supplier communication, material assessment and material control.

Deeper information capture

Request raw material and supply-chain information in greater depth than typical supplier documents usually provide.

Risk assessment foundation

Create a stronger information basis for raw material risk assessment, supply-chain risk ownership and follow-up control decisions.

Supplier-facing structure

Give suppliers a clearer format for providing detailed material and supply-chain information.

Material control

Strengthen the information basis for raw material review, supplier communication and specification control.

Active access record

Create a dated email record showing positive action to access listed information resources.

Retained resource links

Keep useful links in one email record for later site review, reference or follow-up activity.

Compliance-aligned sources

Access resources grouped around scientific developments, codes of practice, authenticity risks and relevant legislation.

Repeatable evidence activity

Generate a new record when your site carries out periodic information-access activity.

Keeping Your Site Informed

Keeping Your Site Informed helps food manufacturers create a retained email record of active access to listed information resources.

Use it to receive a dated record containing useful resource links, supporting evidence of positive action connected to BRCGS clause 1.1.8 information-access activity.
