HACCP Codex - evaluating Critical Control Points

Hello, please help. When the auditor say " Following HACCP, you must evaluate if you have a critical control point. If you follow codex, they have a decision tree available to help make that determination. Your plan as written only considered applying a preventive control, which abides by FSMA/FDA requirements but does not meet HACCP by Codex standards. " What is this mean??? Thank you.

What process did you use to determine that you did or did not have CCPs?

A HACCP plan is (generally speaking) more robust that a PC plan

Hi knvtran,

It probably means that Codex-based CCPs are not always the same as FSMA/Preventive Controls.

Was there a GFSI-recognised Standard involved ?

Please provide basic information regarding yr product/process and the specific process points/CCPs which generated  yr auditor's remark ?.

(Note that yr auditor seems unaware that Codex's latest haccp document has recently "dropped" it's long-utilised (vertical) decision tree).
