Hello, New member here, first posting.
I work for a Rice Toll Processor, we recently had our SQF audit. One of our non-conformances was as follows:
2.4.3.6 – “Fumigation is utilized at intervals from treatment of product and treatment of facilities. This is not evident in the flow diagrams.”
This is only our second SQF audit, we have process flow maps in place for our Mill and Packing etc.. But I am not quite sure how to create a process diagram for fumigation.
There are two types of fumigation we do.
1. Facility - We have fumigation lines permanently installed throughout the facility that connect to sprayers (for lack of a better term) and then the fumigant cylinders are is connected outside to these lines.
2. Product is placed in big shipping containers and fumed with tablets that way.
If someone has an idea on how to create a prosses diagram that would be helpful or if someone has an example they would like to share.
This seems that it would be very simple, but I am not exactly sure what the auditor was looking for here.
I can provide additional details as necessary.
Thank You
