On Thursday, November 28, the VMT Food Safety Event 2019 will take place. In the afternoon, our colleague Paul Besseling, together with Mariska Ruiter, KAM coordinator at J.S. Polak Koninklijke Sperijenmaalderij, will provide a session covering developments in HACCP.
Today's quality manager is quite often in danger of becoming a plaything between certification and customer audits and government inspections. It is therefore important to stick to the basics and that is the safety of your products, processes and raw materials. For many quality managers, it turns out to be quite a challenge to make a good HACCP hazard analysis and still many mistakes are made. A major pitfall in applying HACCP is the lack of distinction between hazards and deviations. In HACCP according to the Codex Alimentarius, this distinction is insufficiently expressed. The distinction between hazards and deviations is crucial in ISO 22000:2108, especially when identifying critical control points (CCPs) and "basic operational conditions" (OPRPs). The new ISO 22000:2018 is the most advanced standard when it comes to HACCP and with it offers significant advantages over BRC and IFS. Mariska Ruiter shows what the recent renewal of hazard analysis has brought and how it passed the latest FSSC audit with flying colors.
