I'm trying to help a small cheese repacker company with their food safety needs. Its a new industry for me so theres a bit of a learning curve. I was hoping to get an audit checklist from a certified HACCP auditing company (redacted or not is totally fine). I've led 10 HACCP audits and cannot find any of the checklists provided to us by the auditing bodies! Ugh. If possible one from 2024 or 2025 would be amazing.

 

Also I was looking for a summary of changes to HACCP from 2023 and 2025. I believe the last update was 2025, no?

 

Thanks

HACCP as in how the US does HACCP or how the rest of the world does?

 

Because HACCP isn't considered a standard nor to have prescribed check lists outside of the US.  It's a concept for establishing food safety risk and reducing that risk.  It would be like saying "do you have a checklist for all of the health and safety risk assessments in a factory?"

 

It should be possible if you are proficient in HACCP to compile a checklist.  If not, go to the SQF or BRCGS standards, both free to download, and look through their sections on HACCP and you can use them to compile a checklist.  The FAO guidelines on HACCP aren't bad either albeit they deviate slightly from Codex at one point, I forget where.  There would just be a lot more reading to get to.

 

Or, while accepting you will need to tweak, just stick in a query into AI.  I did this for an audit a while back and I have to be honest, the suggested list wasn't bad.  Probably 80% there.  It just depends on if the data is publicly available.  If it is, AI tends to work well.
