Verification and validation records

please please please please 😢😢😢

I need someone to help me in my verification and validation record since I feel it's wrong and must not be like that and after 2 months i have an audit 

mine is consist of three columns the first one is the issue like hand washing, cooking , hot and cold holding 

second one is verification and for example for issue hot and cold holding the verification is that the executive chef and the hygiene manager will verify that foodservice employees will record the temperatures of food items and document corrective action on the hot and cold temperature log 

the last column is about the validation and for the same example it's hot and cold holding form 

thank you 

🙏🙏

Hi Haya, welcome to the forum. Please, read attached reference document - might be helpful. Validation is not the same as verification.

These are the checklists for validation & verification that a consultant I worked with used.

I've used the same form (with minor tweaks) at 2 facilities and auditors have been good with this.

Attaching a sample of my validation report

please please please please

Hi haya salameh,

Sadly, based on previous threads here, SQF auditors seem often oblivious or misunderstanding of Codex's document in Post 2 on Validation/Verification despite IIRC the SQF Standard's claimed adherence to Codex. As a result SQF audit expectations may vary between auditors. I daresay this situation may also exist in yr location.

You may need to find out (eg from a Consultant) which is the "appropriate" SQF response for yr particular location.
