Hello,

Metal detection is one of my critical control points.  I have a book that I log every time the metal detects anything.  I log what was found, if product was contaminated, disposition of product if so, immediate action taken, steps to prevent recurrence of deviation.  Then in my haccp plan I log any corrective actions needed (Operator did not perform enough checks, Metal detector became unplugged, Operator did not record checks properly, and corrective actions.  Do I have to record in my haccp book every time there is a metal hit if I record it in a separate book?

 

Thank you

No, as long as your HACCP plan book indicates that you have another controlled document/book/spread sheet that you are recording deviations and corrections, you should be fine. This is part of record keeping of your HACCP plan.

The text is a little confusing, Too many "books".

 

the haccp plan  is normally a separate, fixed, reference document often stored in a Haccp Manual M1, Not involved in "logging"  data.

 

The haccp plan's  "monitoring"  section should refer to a Form XYZ  which becomes a  Record XYZ. The latter are usually kept in a Binder B1.

 

Monitoring data for CCPs requires to be Verified which is usually included/ facilitated on the Form XYZ.

 

Any Defective data on Form XYZ requires raising another (cross-linked) Corrective Action Form/Record LMN which is usually kept in another Binder B2.

 

Corrective actions may require root analysis which sometimes is on same Form/Record LMN and sometimes on a separate Form/Record OPQ in another Binder B3

 

Hopefully not too many Forms/Records/Binders. :smile:


Kind Regards,
