Hi our company is currently reviewing our HACCP plans for marinated meats. However during our review for hazard analysis, our R&D declared they cannot declare the ingredients used in 3 of our premixes used to make our marinades. They can only provide us certificates of compliance or letter of guarantee.
For some time we accepted these but when we attended an orientation on the basics of ISO 22000, it is a requirement to have the ingredients declared and go through hazard analysis. The company eventually plans to undergo certification.
I was wondering how are we going to go about this given that as of now our R&D wishes not to disclose the ingredients for the premixes.
By the way, our R&D supplies the premixes to us.
Has anyone encountered the same dilemma? I would really really appreciate if you could share how we can resolve this issue?
thanks.
