Organoleptic/Sensory Analysis Risk Assessment

Hi all,

I recieved a non-conformance as part of BRC Product Inspection & Laboratory Testing Clause 5.6 & Product Release Clause 5.7. 

The non-conformance states that "Organoleptic testing is not based on a risk assessment". 

I've been trying to find a decent example or template to use for the Risk Assessment for the Sensory/Organoleptic Analysis but I can't find one. 

Also, how would I go about doing it? Would I have to do every product singularly or group the products into categories like cakes/pies/tarts etc.?

Does anybody have good guidance on what way to do this and what the Row x Column titles would be based off?

Any help appreciated! 

Thanks :)

Hi EJ,

The specifics may relate to the Product/Process involved.
