Requirements

Review is an essential management process of all effective food safety systems. It ensures management can maintain and update their system in line with changes to standards and legislation. It also allows management to improve the system based on data generated and from events such as recalls and alerts.

Global food standards including those in the GFSI set out specific requirements for review of the food safety system by management. Depending on the standard the following are some of the possible reviews which certified food businesses must conduct:

• General management review of the food safety system
• HACCP
• PRP
• Audis
• Incidents and recalls
• Legalisation
• Quality objectives
• Training and resources
• Suppliers
• Non-conformances
• Specifications
• Scientific changes and developments

If we take a closer look at these standards (e.g. BRC,SQF and ISO 22000) we see specifically companies must:

• Formalise and plan relevant reviews
• Maintain records ofreviews and decisions
• Instigate corrective and improvement actions
• Define the workflow and methodology for scheduling and conducting reviews

To comply with these requirements, food businesses must adopt a structured approach to reviews covering the above scope and requirements.
