Hi Les Ley,
Issue 6 is in development, I haven't seen a timescale for launch.
In part I would expect the changes to mimic Issue 8 Food changes such as requirements:
- to plan to develop a product safety culture
- for a confidential reporting system
- for food defence not just security
- for the control of product labels/printing
- for HACCP review & changes may be reflected in policies/objectives
- as a minimum the internal audit programme will include at least 4 different audit dates spread throughout the year
- the site shall have a procedure for the completion of root cause analysis
- the site shall have a documented traceability procedure
- the site shall have adequate measures in place to prevent birds from entering buildings or roosting above loading or unloading areas
- the significance of laboratory results shall be understood and acted upon accordingly
There may also be for extension of requirements for intended use, control of inks plus considering possible migration.
Kind regards,
Tony
