Hi,

 

The FDA auditors will focus more on cleaning & sanitation and allergen control / management.

Hi Kishor, please check 21 CFR 114 (acidified foods), 21 CFR 110 (CGMP) or click this link for more information on related FDA Guidelines, https://www.gpo.gov/...ent-detail.html

Kishor, if you produce canned food, they will check specially your sterilization process control. And at least one worker should have the BPCS certification.

Pre-requisite programs they check routinely:

- Cleaning & Sanitation

- Pest Control

- Training

- Water Monitoring

- Food Defense

 

Then HACCP.  You're doing acidified foods, they'll check that you're records are in order, verified, and that your kill step has been validated and your HACCP plan is validated.

 

They'll likely ask about your suppliers and who your customers are.

they're also big on traceability and will ask to see your recall policy.

 

Good luck!
