2 Plan
Organization has conducted and documented a HACCP plan, when HACCP system established. Organization has established documented procedures to ensure consistency and compliance with the requirements of HACCP standard and the organizations stated food safety policy. The procedures have made provisions to ensure that the organization receives relevant information on the conditions relating to food safety, including regulatory requirements.
GENERAL
The organization has developed a HACCP plan, which specified: Relevant hazards, biological, chemical or physical; Where the relevant hazards have controlled (Critical control points (CCP)); The critical limits observed for selected critical control points; The monitoring method used; The measures taken those monitoring methods indicate a critical limit is out of control; Responsibility and authorities for monitoring / controlling each control point
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The product description includes relevant safety information such as composition, physical / chemical structure, packing and storage. The description of the end use is based on the expected use of the product by the consumers. Different raw material, ingredients and packing materials help in defining the Product. A list for better understanding on above basis of the products is given.
PROCESS DESCRIPTION
The team carefully studied all process stages and prepared process flow diagram. The team has also conducted on-site verification of the flow diagrams.
The process flow diagrams of different products indicating all stages and conditions for each product are covered, and are given in HACCP Plan.
The identification of a CCP in the HACCP system is facilitated by applying the decision tree based on Annexure A6. All hazards that may be reasonably expected to occur, or be introduced at each step, have been considered. Training in applying the decision tree has been given to the team members. If a hazard has been identified at a step where control is necessary for safety, and no preventive measure exists at that step, or any other, then the product or process is modified at that step, or at any earlier or later stage, to include a preventive measure. Application of the decision tree has been applied to determine whether the step is a CCP for the identified hazard. HACCP plan based on CCPs identified for products are given.
MRM
Management Review meetings are conducted after Internal Audit (generally threefourth months) and whenever required. This meeting includes the review of all operational and supporting functions of HACCP, which shows the effectiveness, and maintenance of HACCP. HACCP Team reviews HACCP at least in 3-4 months or as earlier as per need. Review also includes the assessment of the opportunity for improvement and the need for changes. As CCPs are monitored regularly and also verified .As much emphasis is given on CCPs in MRM.They are the key aspects to control the HAZARDS. During the Internal Audits also, CCP are reviewed for their monitoring, Verification etc. As well Procedure has been developed for Validation of HACCP Plan and CCPs at a specific intervals. VERIFICATION activities include: a) Review of the HACCP system and its records b) Review of deviations and product dispositions: Immediately after the occurrence of deviations. c) Validation of CCPs: as stated in procedure
d) Validation of established critical limits when product formulation changes or processes parameter changes.
Document & Data change: Changes to above mentioned documents and data are reviewed and approved by the same authority that carries out the initial approval. He should have relevant information regarding for the reasons/ need for modification. The Team Leader /M.R. reissues these documents and records (Table 1). However amendments activities in standards/ specifications, checklists are maintained by QCM. Obsolete documents and datas are removed from all points of use and are destroyed after having
the copy of each. Obsolete documents are retained for legal or knowledge sake and are identified by stamp title OBSOLETE and filed in Obsolete File. In general individual personnel and departments are responsible for the long-term retention of the records, which they generate. A procedure is being generated for control of records.
Review: Documents of all type are reviewed by the designated authority before approval & changes if any are incorporated. Approval: After thorough review, document shall be approved by designated authority. Issued: All documents are issued and controlled by Team Leader/M.R. He assigns an issue no. /rev. no. and ensures that date of issue /effective date is same as date of release for implementation.
PROCEDURES
Wherever essential and required documented procedures have been established which shows and maintain integrity of the standard. These procedures are also guidelines for manufacturing product without deviation and delivery to the end user.
