This document specifies the common requirements for establishing, implementing and maintaining prerequisite programmes (PRPs) throughout the food, feed and packaging supply chain to assist in controlling food safety hazards with a food safety management system (FSMS).This document is applicable to all organizations, regardless of size or complexity, that are involved in activities across the food, feed and packaging supply chain and that wish to implement PRPs (see Figure 1).Exclusions to requirements can be supported by a sufficient justification that ensures that the exclusion does not adversely impact food safety.
