Hi! I'm currently doing a post-graduate course in food safety and one of my assignments is to carry out a HACCP audit in a food industry that exports .

 

If anybody has any good audit checklist that can help me formulate my own and also advises from members will be really appreciated.

 

Thanks!

Dear RVueti,

 

Seems to me that HACCP is basically only a tool. The primary intention should be to achieve an effective FS audit. This IMEX may unfortunately also require more of a detective's type of capabilities.

 

I would suggest that it may be advisable to understand the basics of HACCP before worrying about an audit checklist, eg the Codex, NACMCF documents, US Seafood HACCP rules, EC import HACCP requirements. (i appreciate may depend on course level / structure  though).

 

The HACCP system's orientation may realistically depend considerably on the particular food category also.

 

One objection IMO to many published expositions of HACCP is that they look like cookbook recipes. This forum continuously demonstrates that the reality is opposite. Just like cooking.

 

IMO, question 7.5, in Caz's detailed list will baffle a lot of people, ie "Has the CCP decision tree been used correctly?" Maybe one good reason for not using it.

 

@Caz - You must undertake some very long audits (pre-sent Questionnaire maybe?)

I do it twice annually, and use the information from it in my HACCP review
