Dear All,

Is there anyone who would like to share their procedure and documents for packaging and raw material trials in food manufacture please?



I am trying to write a document which could be used to make sure we go through all relevant stages like informing purchasing, production, engineering, despatch etc.,



I would be grateful for your help.



Thx,

Agnes

Really good question. This is a sore spot at the company where I work. Even though we do only co-manufacturing and co-packing I think that communication and documentation is a necessary part of trials and launches. We're SQF2000 Level 2 certified, and in Version 6 this was not required, but the new V7 it is under element 2.3.

Hi Agnes,
I'm not involved at site level so the following is what I have observed from afar. Hope this helps at least.

We have a change management process that has questions to trigger food safety, environmental safety, occupational safety, and quality

There are trigger criteria listed i.e. certain answers trigger the risk assessment process for each area (FS, Enviro, OHS, Q)

For the Food Safety side - this leads to a trials form that must be filled out. (The HACCP process requires this form to be filled out for all trials in any case) The result become an addendum to the existing HACCP plan i.e. modifies the HACCP plan to show the new materials, process etc that have been added by this trial; what control measures have been added to ensure the trial doesn't put existing products at risk, etc

Note - the HACCP trials form defines different classes of trials (about 4 levels - from minor to major) and defines the scope/extensiveness of the risk assessment work e.g. whether the whole HACCP team is to be involved.

There's a daily stand-up meeting. Change requests are 1) Posted on the change request board and 2) Explained briefly
All operations people attend this 10 minute meeting so it's an opportunity for the right people to hear about a change

The change requests are brought up when first raised, and then progress/status is reported at these meetings.

Finally, there is a change coordinator role.
Cheers

Hi,

After a while I have created the packaging trial documentation. It is long but I wanted to cover all the possibilities.

Feel free to download and change as you wish.
