I would be very grateful for members recommendations on the following question relating to Outsourcing of a Process in ISO22000.
As a paper mill suppling food contact packaging, we are 2 weeks away from our ISO22000 Stage 2 verification audit, and, having never done so before, now need to outsource a “Slitting” process for a one off order. The process is essentially the reducing of the width of a reel of paper in line with that required by the customer, a process we normal undertake, but due to machine capacity issues we need to outsource this one off order.
We will be supplying all the primary and tertiary packaging, product labels etc.
The main risk will be contamination transfer from the slitting equipment and handling.
I have drawn up a control procedure and the site will be subject to an onsite audit, but my question relates to what I need, if anything, to include within our existing HACCP document – do I need a separate process which looks generically at the process, i.e. Transport to the Site carrying out the outsourcing, store, process, pack, return to us, or does it need to be a full, detailed HACCP analysis based on each step of their process? Or do I not need to include anything in the HACCP?
The standard only appears to make reference to inclusion within the FSM, for which we will have a procedure and audit results – is this sufficient?
Obviously time is a big issue here, and whilst I’m confident we will have the correct controls in place, such as suitable storage, handling, etc. we need to ensure we have the necessary documentation in place – and if anyone has any examples of document for a similar scenario they are willing to share I would also be most grateful.
