Mock-recall · BRCGS Issue 9
Mock recall in 90 seconds.
Not half a day with three QA managers and a whiteboard.
BRCGS Issue 9 requires you to run a mock recall on real production data, end-to-end, and produce a signed traceability report. In Excel, that's half a day and a knot in your stomach. In Keystone, it's 90 seconds and a signed PDF.
- Pick a batch or dispatch — full chain returns in under 30 seconds
- One-click signed PDF for the audit folder
- Includes upstream supplier chain + downstream customer chain
- Audit log of every mock recall run (who, when, which batch)
Why it matters
BRCGS auditors don't accept 'we'd be able to find it.'
Issue 9 §3.9 / §3.11 (traceability) requires evidence that you can produce a complete chain — upstream and downstream — within a specified time. Most artisan producers can technically do this in Excel; they just can't do it fast enough, with a signed audit trail, on demand. That's where audits get downgraded.
What Keystone gives you

Signed PDF
Output is a signed PDF with a unique audit ID. Drop it straight into your BRCGS folder.

FAQ
Questions buyers actually ask.
Will running mocks cost more on my licence?
No — included in Standard. Run as many as you need.
Does it generate the BRCGS template document?
Yes — output is a signed PDF formatted to BRCGS expectations. We update it when BRCGS revises the standard.
Can the SFPA accept the output?
Same PDF works for SFPA / FSAI / DAFM inspections. The audit trail is platform-agnostic.
How fast is "90 seconds" in reality?
Benchmarked on the founding-customer dataset (35 batches, 99 dispatches, multi-market export footprint). Full chain returns in under 30 seconds; PDF generation adds another 30–60.
