Product Risk Assessment
Hi all,
We are a packaging factory that produce packings for tobacco and food sector. Customer sends us product design and we print, cut, slit, fold and make final packaging product. We had an SQP (Supplier Qualification Programme) audit from one of our customers. We have HACCP based process risk assessment but they also demand Product based risk assessment.
Their SQP standart asks like below:
2.2.1. Does the company establish a product risk assessment for each group or a group of similar products e.f., FMEA?
2.2.2. Does the product risk assessment determine following aspects which have an effect on product safety and legality?
All of the above should have been covered during your HACCP plan preparation during the hazard analysis. If you haven't yet done that, I would start there. If your hazard analysis wasn't fully completed, then you HACCP plans subsequentsteps are not correct. All of you incoming materials should be included in your hazard analysis
Hi duskdiyebiri,
thanks for the comments.
"packaging should be risk assessed for each type of food to be packed and intended use, such as is the food going to be microwaved in the packaging." that's a good idea. My HACCP plan doesn't have this.
If you have more ideas like this please feel free to share. I need to develop my HACCP plan I think.
