Hello everyone
Last week I had two audits and one was really surprising for me. I work in mill, we made good flour from bad wheat Our production is really specific: we have no clean or dirty zone, our workers have no contact with product because all lines are close. The wheat come into the mill and, in the end, we have finished product paked into sacks. Samples are taken by special equipment, that's how we get flour for all laboratory test.
The most important thing are kilometers of pneumatic transportation.
Ok, that's how generally everything look like. What is my problem? Well, one of the auditors wanted from us making microbiological smear test of production surfaces. My question is how? Our production is on 4 floors and this unfortunate pneumatic transport. We have all microbiological test of flours made once a mont or two. We make test for mycotoxins, pesticides and heavy metals. Our clients don't want us to make them at all, but it's better for us to have all these results. Polish law also doesn't mention about any microbiological test for flours. The auditor came with check list made for all types of production, especially meat production, and didn't want to listen our explanations.Is there any possibility to convince her to change her mind? Or maybe we will have to make those tests? But which moment of production will be most proper for this kind of tests?
Maybe anyone had similar problem? I 'll be very thankful for every help
Best regards for all
