The clock is ticking and September is looming, have you validated your supply chain yet? If you hold a Wholesale Dealers Licence you will be asked to evidence that your supply chain for both ambient and cold chain are compliant with good distribution practice. We, Responsible Persons (RPs) are eagerly awaiting advice from the MHRA which is muted to be arriving in August, just in time! But mapping your trucks, buying new trucks, selecting new compliant couriers all takes time. Packaging also have to be validated to ensure it is fit for purpose.

Data Loggers have to be selected and purchased, reports have to be written and reviewed.

If you have a large fleet, how many trucks are you going to map? All or a %? What percentage will satisfy the regulators? Will mapping have to be bi-annual? Do not leave it to chance, inspectors are asking all new wholesalers to validate their supply chain now. What is your plan if your courier is not compliant? If you need help with validation e mail [email protected]
