Hi Charles,
We are already certified against FSSC 22000, but the HACCP I inherited is terrible. There is no risk assessment matrix associated with the decisions the prior team made. When the auditor asked the one remaining HACCP Team member how they quantified risk for each hazard, his response was, "I have no idea". So, I am trying to redo the entire thing and make sure it makes sense. The Process Flow Diagram calls out the metal detector as an oPRP, but that's it. It isn't mentioned anywhere else in the HACCP Plan, no is there any rational as to why it is deemed an oPRP. I originally started this thread because I was unsure if the metal detector would be considered a "process step", but from what I am seeing, the response is yes.
Hi Lisiegirl,
Thanks for the update. Frankly I'm rather amazed as to how certification was achieved in the initial audit.
Based on previous Food haccp threads here for GFSI recognised (and traditional) standards, IMO the majority of single metal detectors (MDs) are designated as CCPs although some cases of oprp and PRP do exist. (I think MDs are rather rare at the end of Packaging Production Lines).
You probably know already that there is a current, "official" freely downloadable basic guideline text to fssc22000 which is attached on several threads on this forum here (mainly oriented to food IIRC). Allthough I disagree with some of its content regarding CCP/oprp decisions it's generally, usefully, informative.
JFI here is one, semi-quantitative approach, (an updated version of the CCP/oprp discrimination methodology is discussed elsewhere on this forum) for a Food detailed, "model" hazard analysis for fssc22000 based on iso22000-2005 for which the principle/majority probably still works for iso22000:2018 -

Offhand, I cannot recall any similar detailed ISO-examples to the above for Packaging on this Forum although several threads exist (see FSSC Packaging sub-forum) which discuss aspects of the fssc22000 Packaging hazard analysis. I anticipate that when compared to food the Packaging risk assessment aspects are "simplified" in a similar way as for traditional Packaging haccp hazard analyses, eg increased focus on GMP-related features.
