AnswerMinor: The site addressed High Care, Low Risk, enclosed product zones in their HACCP documentation and controls. However, the assessment performed by the site using the appendix 2 of the BRCGS standard is not available for review

As sown above, I recently had my yearly audit and was given a NC on SS:4.3 because I did not have the policy. I only had the Form 4 with all the risks zones highlighted.

Any suggestion on what to add to the preventative action?  I have already created the policy using the Appendix 2 but still having hard time coming up with an acceptable preventive action area to send to the reviewer.

Thanks  , All.

Did you "retrain" yourself and the haccp team on the element requirement?

No, I have not thought about this one; would this be a preventive action? If so, how do I retrain Myself?

I might or might not have got this right.  But I read that as you have risk zones on your site maps and HACCP plans but you've not recorded how you and the wider team came to that decision that those risk zones were the correct ones.  I'd simply have a HACCP meeting where you discuss that and record your assessment.  They used to have a flow diagram in the old standard you could record your outputs against but I think it caused confusion in some categories but the relevant section is appendix 2.  I'd make sure the areas are discussed and you record notes on your meeting "we agreed our area we've defined as high care is because.... [reference parts from app 2].  We agreed it was not High Risk because..." etc.

 

Does that make sense?

Hi Jean-C,

 

Assuming your HACCP team is responsible for this, I think this is as simple as:

Corrective Action: Assessment documented

Preventative Action: HACCP Team briefed with sign off & Assessment/Site Map off Zones added to list of documents reviewed during annual HACCP Review

 

Kind regards,
