Internal Inspection and Auditing Procedure
Who are the person(s) responsible for FSMS
e.g. Food Safety Team Leader
Who is the Approval Authority for FSMS
e.g. COO
Where is information located
e.g. FSMS information is kept in a centralized location on the operations master server
What is the revision timing / frequency
e.g. revision occurs annually or if there is a change to management, a system failure, process change or revision in related scientific or regulatory information.
What is the goal of the audit
e.g. The goal is to ensure that FSMS is working correctly and efficiently. To identify and correct faults that may injure customer or stakeholders to the business, to verify that training and resource is adequate and implemented effectively
Define the Scope of the FSMS
e.g. The audit and inspection is relevant to all food handling operations starting from receiving to sale of goods. The audit may be upgraded to include suppliers of food, chemicals, services or equipment that may impact on the safety of food
Describe the content of the FSMS
e.g. The audit program and audit plan form part of the audit procedure
What is the training requirement / criteria / frequency for FSMS
Internal Auditors and Inspectors shall be trained in food safety customer requirements either by education or through practical hands on experience. As a minimum Internal Auditors should be HACCP trained.
Inspection and Audit Program
Describe the Audit
e.g. The audit is a quantitative measure of the standards being followed based on a scoring system defined in this handbook. A report is emailed to senior management and relevant managers listing corrective actions and target dates for accomplishment. Photographs can be included in the report as supporting evidence. review of completed corrective actions form part of the audit criteria. Full criteria is based on the clauses of international standard ISO 22000:2005 (4: Food Safety Management System, 5: Management Responsibility, 6: Resource Management, 7: Planning & Realization of Safe Products, 8: Validation, verification and improvement of the food safety management system). The results of the audit are used as a verification tool for the food safety training plan.
