We are a contract manufacturer. I'm hoping to obtain feedback from people with familiarity or currently work in a contract manufacturing environment to learn approaches that have been used to shape the Food Safety Plan given multiple customers and product types/sizes. Examples would be helpful.

 

Our current setup is multiple documents that would be compiled upon request/audit into a product-specific food safety plan.

-Ingredients across all customers in 1 Excel file

-Separate files for flow charts and process descriptions

-Separate Excel files containing customer background and products that link to the separate flow charts and process descriptions).

Hi Jon, welcome.

 

First a question - is your company certified under one of the GFSI schemes such as SQF?


All the Best,

We're contract manufacturers as well (ice cream, yogurts/cream cheese) It's quite simple as soon as a company has their own system - and what you've described sounds good. Just don't panic if your customer asks you to provide a product spec of their configuration: do it, but keep your own specs on file.
