Hi everyone. 

 

there are some products we used to process but not anymore, but we still have them on our HACCP PLAN in case we start selling them again.

 

My question is: 

 

Is it neccesary that the SCOPE OF CERTIFICATION needs to match the haccp plan? We have an audit at the end of the month and I´m just curious about this. 

 

Thanks

any chance you'll be making these products during your certification year?  If so, you should include them because if you don't they will NOT be certified products.

 

 

From SQF V8

"The products. SQF certification is product specific. The food sector category (ies), and products processed

and handled on site shall be identified and agreed in the scope of certification. Where a site seeks to exempt

any products processed or handled on site, the request for exemption must be submitted to the certification

body in writing prior to the certification audit, explaining the reason for exemption. If approved by the

certification body, product exemptions shall be listed in the site description in the SQFI assessment database

and in audit reports(s)"

Is there a reason you'd like to omit them? If there is no chance of producing them again I would say get rid of them, just less to track that way. You could choose to add comments like: "produced as needed" or "Process not presently performed". This would trigger the auditor to inquire about them. They will spend little to no time on this if you explain your reason for inclusion in the HACCP plan. You could also separate them into their own section of the plan and use them as needed, again, with documentation for your decision.
