Summary
Restructured GFSI certification section under BRCGS heading. Clarified that "other internationally recognized food safety certifications" must be valid and not expired. No new certification types or requirements introduced.
Why it matters
This is presentation reorganization only. Existing requirement that certificates be valid and not expired was already stated in cGMP section; restating it under GFSI certifications improves clarity for manufacturers, importers, and repackers but does not impose new obligations.
Recommended action
Review Qualification Center submissions to confirm supporting certificates (SQFBRCGS, FSSC 22000, or other GFSI-recognized) are current. No policy change requires updated documentation or resubmission.
