Good morning all!
First, thank you for the wonderful feedback on the paint question. We just went through our SQF recert audit and the auditor was less than impressed with our HACCP plan. First off, we are in a unique situation where we do not manufacture actual food products, but the additives, pH adjusters, and cleaners for the dairy industry. We have a total of 12 products within our HACCP plan, but we don't run actual lines, we process in large batches which either go to holding for an order or loaded right away for shipment. All of the process steps have variations, but we do have - what I guess I could call - categories. We've got product that is transloaded (we bring in the product via rail and ship it out) which are a single product and we have blends with 3 or less ingredients. The one thing in common with our blends is we have a control point with them.
My questions are: Have we been running 12 HACCP plans?? Our initial audit went fine and the auditor didn't say anything at all about it. If we group them, would that give us 2 HACCP plans?
Side note: I transferred to my current position from our feed division 4 years ago. I had taken the PCQI for animal food in 2018 and was told not to worry about the PCQI for human food. How wrong that turned out to be. I am currently taking the human food course, but would still appreciate advice.
Thank you for your input.
