We are a food processor. However there are some items where we just purchase, store and distribute. Those items are packaged in its original packaging, and labeled by the manufacturer. Examples are pasta, chips, soy sauce. The items are shelf-stable.
Is a label check CCP required for those items or would that CCP be handled by the supplier/manufacturer?

It would be a CP and not a CCP on your part.

Do you sell the products in question, or as a storage facility do you ship only when the product owner instructs you to? I can't imagine any justification for a CCP on something you don't alter in house, and as part of your PRP's you could review label info and expiration dates, whatever is pertinent to your contract on these items.

We sell the products ourselves. We mostly process our own products, but we do buy-store-distribute other products as well.

Hi Lucho,
You don't need to do label checks as such but you should be doing some supplier assurance due diligence for the products you are purchasing and selling. This may be as simple as ensuring they are certified to a GFSI benchmarked standard.
Kind regards,
Tony

Also some consideration for allergens, if these products have them. Do you have a process in place about how/where they are stored and some procedures in place in the event the products are damaged in some way resulting in product spillage and potential cross contamination, albeit, slight.

It's always good to ensure that the information provided by the manufacturers is accurate and up to date so it's important to conduct a label check.
