Hi everyone! I am new to the IFSQN! I am not sure this is the best forum for the question I want to ask, but it was the closest I found so here it goes...Any of you have an example of a Food industry work wear/uniform (including maintenance/laundry) specification? I know the basics in terms of GMP, looking for a more comprehensive example. I would appreciate if anyone could share. Thank you in advance!

are you thinking in house management or having a service?

Hi! Thanks for your answer. 

I am thinking of having a service, I need an example of specification for work wear (food industry/food manufacturing).

Thanks again!

The uniform service provider should have specifications ready for review including (if applicable) a validated process study conducted as a kill step.  Other factors include color coding for different zones, and types of garments (lab coats, aprons, smock, etc.)

 

You should provide more info regarding your specific operation

[Scampi]

Uniforms should not have buttons---snaps/zippers or velcro are acceptable

 

A reputable company will have a validations study regarding the actual cleanliness of uniforms post wash, but depending on what you're making, you may only need a letter of guarantee that your uniforms are not washed with others from non compatible operations (think car garage, dirty factory etc)

Thank you all for your answers so far! I was wondering whether anyone has an example of a full specification they could share?

Hi Monica,

 

Is there a specific FS Standard/Clause involved ? eg BRC, SQF etc

[Monica Nunez Garcia]

Hi Charles,

 

There is no external standard involved. Just looking to create a work wear spec in order to contract a service - work wear and laundry. The potential providers won't give us an example, so I was wondering whether anyone has an example that I could have a look at to help me build my specification. I have the basic GMP elements already - no buttons above waist, while work wear to assess cleanliness...but the spec needs to be more comprehensive than this. If anyone has an example to share, I would really appreciate it.

 

Thanks again everyone!
