Free BRCGS Food Safety Gap Analysis Excel Template (Issue 9)

This free Excel template is designed to help structure and record a gap analysis against the BRCGS Global Standard for Food Safety (Issue 9). It provides a clause-by-clause framework aligned to the standard’s hierarchy, with a separate overview sheet that summarises compliant and non-compliant requirements by section.

No sign-up required. Excel (.xlsx)

What the template includes

  • Clause-by-clause structure using official requirement numbers
  • Clear separation between documentation, systems and records, and facilities and manufacturing practice
  • A summary sheet that rolls results up by section for quick triage
  • Simple compliant / non-compliant status (no partial scoring)

What this template does not do

  • It does not include BRCGS requirement text
  • It does not interpret clause intent
  • It does not determine adequacy of evidence

The BRCGS standard must be obtained and consulted separately when completing an assessment.

Who this template is intended for

  • Technical and Quality Managers
  • Food Safety and Compliance leads
  • Consultants supporting BRCGS certification
  • Internal teams preparing for audit or review
