Hello,

I have a customer audit very soon and i need to write a procedure related to the risk of product contamination in case of spillage for example.

 

We have a procedure related to glass/foreign bodies only

 

Any help please for this procedure?

 

Regards

It's best to document what you are currently doing. What do you do if there is an issue?

It depends on what product you are dealing with in your facility and what the spillage is.

hi  

 

this is for allergens spillage but you can modify whatever you need 

 

• Operative must inform Managers, QA and Hygiene Team Leader and cordon off the affected area (if necessary)
• Area must be cleaned with ________________and the visual check is necessary to ensure that cleaning has been effective at removing contamination (________ and floors).
• Operative, managers, QA and hygiene team leader must ensure that all of the spillage is disposed of in the relevant external waste container.
• Spillage __________________ must be clean separately from standard equipment and if possible, at the end of shift to avoid cross-contamination. 
• Following cleaning of the area the operative should change their overalls and inspect shoes.
• Once cleaning is finished, the area is to be assessed by the QA or production manager and signed off acceptable prior to production start-up and confirming the areas free from contamination.
• The NC`s must be raised and investigated.
• _________________ kits are allocated in area 1,2,3,4

Hello,

 

We produce pizza and in the standard we talk about product contamination (e.g. spillage) . Which mean that spillage is a part of the reason of contamination. Mostlly we talk about foreign bodies (glass, wood, metal...) but never about chemical incident.

 

We have cleaning and maintenance products but they are stored away.

i don't know if i have to include the spillage of product used to prepare pizza (milk, oils, eggs...)

• Any activities carried out must stop, then the hygiene team leader and QA must be informed.
• Separate the area with black & yellow tape. 
• Collect chemical spill kit from chemicals storage, wear gloves & sleeves and use absorbent socks and pads as follows ;
