Hi
I work for a large chilled product manufacturer operating numerous sites both in the UK and overseas.
We supply all the main UK retailers which include M&S. As a large group we have our own codes of practices which we employ across all our sites including an allergen management standard. This standard include allergen matrix, process matrix and a comprehensive risk assessment - however the format of the risk assessment is not entirely in line with th M&S allergen COP. Although our format is slightly different we do come to the same conclusions and at the end of the day allergen controls will be identical regardless of the format of the risk assessment. IMO our risk assessment is far more in depth than the M&S verion
I am finding that during M&S hygiene/PPC audits there are huge discrepancies between how the auditors view the allergen management systems in place on site.
Some M&S auditors are happy with our risk assessment as long as the M&S technologist has signed off against the risk assessment.
Other auditors have given a major non con for not using the M&S format and we have had auditors who refuse to even look at an allergen risk assessment if it is not in the M&S format.
Has anyone else had any issues with M&S regarding the format of the allergen risk assessment????
