this element is referring to your finished goods specifications, not incoming materials

 

completely separate from the approved supplier  (which is a list of vendors, NOT materials)

Create a finished product register and list the applicable food safety plan for each as well as a reviewed date for the specifications.  Attached is a copy of what we use.

Hi miissreg,

 

I can see there has been some confusion:

 

Clause 2.3.2.9 refers to Finished product specifications.

 

‘A list of all the above specifications shall be maintained and kept current’ is from the next clause 2.3.2.10 and does apply to raw materials and packaging, chemicals, processing aids, contract services, and finished products.

 

Kind regards,

 

Tony
