Drop a comment with how your company manages HACCP reviews in practice.
  • Do you have a set schedule?
  • Triggered by changes?
  • Audit-driven?
It's always interesting to hear the real-world approaches behind the numbers, and share best practice.

I am not a HACCP team leader anymore but, none of the above?

 

For the last plan I was directly HACCP TL, we reviewed it before changes (should never be after) and every 1-2 months.  I know that's above requirements for standards etc but unless your HACCP plan is very well integrated into your day to day, I don't see how every 6-12 months is enough.

I'm also going none of the above.  I prioritize based upon complexity. We have 7 of them. Some get reviewed every 1-3 months basis due to the complexity and adding products. Others - once a year - they are simple. 

Once a year, or more if needed due to some change, etc.   But I'd imagine this answer is going to vary greatly depending on what your plant does, it's size, etc.

I chose every 6 months, but review sometimes more than that due to our growth.  I also have gotten into the habit of updating our PRPs when they change.

End-to-end every document in the plan?  Once a year.

 

But like kfromNE it is more accurately based on risks and complexity.  Dead simple plan for one facility really is once a year, complicated one for a much larger facility that covers lots of products and new products added frequently has parts of it reviewed monthly.
