Review of Food Defence Program
Hi everyone,
In our food defence program stated the program need to be review annually, i was wondering where should we show that program had been reviewed?
Dear Carine,
Maybe it's an idea to put it on your internal audit planning. You will do a verification, look to eventual weak point and it generates a report with CAPAs.
Hopefully this is useful for you.
Kind regards,

hi Carine ,
I prefer to mention according to which FS standard you are referring , I appreciate to update us , since may be the FS standard ask for more evidences ,any way till that I'll give you a generic answer
you can show that revision had been done by one of the following ways : -
official minutes of the meeting for review the plan showing the activities done ,the Gaps if there is and the future action plan to improve the system ,
also if your system contains a validation checklist you can use it as an evidence and the date of completing the checklist is your updating date ,
or you can update the issue of your defense plan e.g. DEF-PL-V 0.1- last update dd.mm.yyyy.
all of this could be used as a good evidence for your auditor generally.

If you are using the FDA Food Defense Plan Builder, it will give you a updated plan that you can print out and show that you reviewed it that year. It also can be a part of your annual HACCP Plan review, and be documented in the same way you document your HACCP Plan. If you review it in a meeting, then the minutes of the meeting could be used to document the review.
The FDA Builder is actually a very good tool, and it is organized in a question and answer format. It produces about 15 pages of a plan, so it is thorough, and can be set up to generate some action items for you. And.....IT'S FREE!!!

Hello Carine,
I suggest a Revision History for the Food Defense Plan. The Revision History could have column headings such as: date, name of person making the change and change was. If no changes are made, you just put annual review, no changes.
For example:
July 18, 2017 Carine XXX Annual review, no changes made.
I hope this helps.
