Foreign material Audit Checklist
I am developing a foreign material audit checklist and looking for any template ideas. Appreciate your input.
Hi, welcome to the forum. It would depend on what products you make, if you have a metal detector or x-ray, equipment you use, packaging materials, etc.
It's for a bakery. The idea is to develop an inspection template that solely focuses on foreign material risks, program & procedures.
We're dairy industry. We don't have metal detectors, our only means of foreign matter control - screens and filters installed at strategic locations of our receiving, processing & packaging lines. I'm doing inspection for glass/BP, weekly. Other foreign matter control includes visual observations during daily pre-op/cleanliness inspections, GMP & Building audits, receiving & pre-load inspections, equipment assembly/disassembly, etc., personnel training of foreign matter control, pest control (external party), after-maintenance cleaning/reconciliation, and so on. Once a year - program validation. Let's see what others have.
