Hi,
We will be having our AIB audit for food distribution center i.e. warehouse. As a part of a section 1.31, it states the following info:
Personal items and Jewelry present product contamination risks if not controlled:
Critical requirements:
1.31.1.3: Personnel eat, drink, chew gum and use tobacco products only in designated areas.
1.31.1.4: Personal food and belongings are not brought into production or storage areas.
1.31.1.5: All personal property is stored in a designated area.
This section starts directly from the requirement 1.31.1.3 for food distribution center. The first 2 points are omitted from the food distribution standard which actually states that personnel in contact with food remove Jewelry and cosmetic items. These points are part of Pre-requisite and food safety standard.
So if I look based on the 3 points mentioned in the food distribution center, it does not talk about removal of Jewelry. Any recommendations on how it should be handled?
Thank you for your help.
