HACCP plans for co-manufacturers of several types of product
Are there any other co-manufacturing company quality personnel that would share their best practices for HACCP plans? My company manufactures drugs (human and animal), medical devices, dietary supplements, cosmetics, and food products (human and animal). Making a HACCP plan for each different product would take a long time and more personnel than we currently have. Does anybody have advice on how to group similar types of products together in HACCP Plans or if that is even an option. For those of you in similar companies, what has worked best for you? What did not work?
If you have any advice on FSMA related requirements and how to encompass all the regulations for all the different types of products I would welcome that, too!
Thank you for your time!

So begin with the list you provided, then break it down by HOW it's manufactured and then like qualities
So if anything is let's say baked, they all go together
Food that is raw all goes together
Food that is shelf stable goes together
etc etc
Chose a way to group them that makes the MOST sense, most of the time that equals the manufacturing process
Our manufacturing processes are mostly divided into liquids/pastes/creams and dry (powders-some made into tablets or put into capsules. Would we then need to group them by type of product (drug, dietary supplement, etc.)? Or would we group by similar ingredients? I've been here for a little over a year and I'm still learning about all the different products, ingredients, and processes.
group them by type
Even though ingredients may be the same, the labeling would be very different making one of the end steps in the haccp plan very different
Always best to keep like products together (food/supplements/drugs)---they do not all have the same risks and hazards so if you mix them, it will make a mess when it comes to the hazard analysis for each haccp plan
