Hi All,
Please I need help - I just started recently as the QA Specialist for a new RTE sandwich/micro meal company. Now, I came in to help in getting GFSI certification (any one is fine). However, I have notice some practice lately that discourage me a lot.
1. We intend to start variety pack - where we will be packing finished products (closed and packaged) of dissimilar allergen(s) in one master shipper tray. I have presented my concerns about this (which is mainly cross contact concerns) but I think from my discussion with management they really want to go ahead with this. Also, they reasoned since we are not currently under CFIA it is fine.
I really do not know what to do ….. just wondering if anyone here has experience with such packing? Is this even okay? I am really worried . . . .
2. Also, is there any possibility of getting HACCP certification without any physical hazard detection device such as x-ray or metal detector or sifter?
