Hi,
Recently had some differences in opinion on the way a HACCP Plan should be structured given the HACCP knowledge that we know........but at the end of it, we concluded that we were both right and wrong.
Because HACCP does not currently have a SINGLE international audit standard (unlike ISO), every body does things differently which complicates matters. Auditors almost always have a field day and sometimes play "God" too.
We told ourselves, enough is enough. For those who are starting out on a new HACCP program, we suggest that you keep it VERY VERY simple. It not about what you know BUT rather about managing what you know. A true auditor will only audit to what you state in your plan. The more complicated your Haccp Plan is, the more complicated your audit will be and vice-versa.
Our advice is to avoid implementing complicated issues when they can be avoided like coming up with a Critical Limit of Microbilogical Standard of 5 log reduction when this is only a validation issue.
Some of the issues that were brought up in this forum sometimes frightens the wits out of me. I hope monitoring these " huge issues" will not drain the morale of the staff .........it can be really trying.
Regards
Charles Chew
