Just finished my 5th GFSI audit and got a 97%
SQF 8.1 with 3 NC's
NC #1: 2.5.4.2 On-site personnel that conduct environmental or product testing shall participate in an applicable proficiency testing program at least annually to ensure accuracy of results.
This caught me by surprise, I simply missed it but its an easy fix.
NC #2: 11.2.3.1 Walls, partitions, ceilings and doors shall be of durable construction. Internal surfaces shall be smooth and impervious with a light-colored finish, and shall be kept clean (refer to 11.2.13.1).
Our facility is over 100 years old so this is no surprise. A bit of flaking paint in the locker room and a damaged door frame.
NC #3: 11.2.10.8 Temporary repairs, where required shall not pose a food safety risk and shall be included in the cleaning program. There shall be a plan in place to address completion of temporary repairs to ensure they do not become permanent solutions.
Production personnel used tape to "repair/modify" equipment instead of alerting maintenance. This was a good catch and I'm glad the auditor called us out on this, I'm sick of identifying it on our GMP audits and maybe this will help drive a change in employee practices where all else has failed.
