Client is a label printer.
Currently have not identified mixed labels as a CCP.
Have had a rising number of incidents of this nature in last 18 months and wondering if this should be identified as a CCP.
Anyone else's experience or advice would be appreciated.

Dear ISOKirst,
Not quite sure whether you are the receiver / user of the (mixed) labels. Or are you querying from the printer's POV ?
I hv assumed the former since not posted in a packaging forum.
Added later-
(Wrong guess, see PS at bottom)may depend on the actual error (eg see below)
may depend on a particular certified standard if relevant.
may depend on the product / process / consumer involved.
IMO - If the (correct) printing on the labels is controlling an allergenic hazard, may be a
CCP failure. Some people might also regard it as a prerequisite failure (eg control of incoming ingredients / packaging) although repetitive failures could "lift" the status. IMEX a large rejected lot usually has quite a rapid curative effect.
If consequence is non-safety related likely to be a prerequisite failure at the most. could be argued as unrelated to the
FSMS system.

PS @ ISOKirst, after reading yr other post, i guess i guessed wrong. no problem.
Packaging not my field but from memory of label printing -
haccp plans posted here, there is typically a (plate?) checking point prior to starting the run. This is a potential
CCP from memory. suggest you do a little searching within the packaging forum.
