When creating the AMP - should I cover  (allergen) training, product development, suppliers here in 2.8 or in the individual sections ? Does it matter?

There are many ways to skin a cat, as long as it works and you can back up your reasoning for how you set up your programs and, most importantly, prove they are effective.

 

I like to include all training material in each program separate, and my training program references all the programs and basically just consists of a matrix and employee register with responsibilities methods and frequencies of training included. All allergen training material is found in the allergen program SOP.

 

As far as product development, we include a section for allergens (its on our new product initiation form to check for allergens).

 

Concerning vendor qualification we use a questionnaire that addresses allergens, which is explained in the supplier approval program.

We reference all things off of the main allergen plan document, instead of including everything - keeps the confusion down, also (as a former SQF Auditor) helps the Auditor to move quickly thru docs instead of getting bogged down in redunant's.

Product/process is unknown. May relate.

 

There are numerous posted examples of SOPs for AMP on this Forum. IIRC, most do not include training aspects.

 

What does the SQF Guidance say ? From memory there is a detailed validation script within the context of cleaning.

the Guidance mentions "training".
