Hello, I am reviewing edition 9 for manufacture of food packaging and I see that the below is mentioned in the new edition. I am wondering if due to the fact that our haccp plan has revealed we are low risk for bacterial outbreaks, do we have to change our methods for testing from once a year to an outside micro lab to instead internal environmental testing on all finished good products prior to releasing to the client?
