1 FSMA d out Now What?

2 Missing elements?

3 oprps

4 Sanitary Transportation of Foods deadline April 2018 Internal shipping policies? Ensure compliance from 3rd party shippers

5 FSMA Intentional Adulteration 1. Requires a written food defense plan for all covered facilities unless an exemption applies vulnerability assessment Aka Food Defense mitigation strategies monitoring, corrections, and verifications 2. Requires EDUCATION, TRAINING, to be qualified 3. Requires implementation and reanalysis < 10 million annual sales = exempt, 10 million 500 employees = small = July 2020, 10 million 500 employees = large = July 2019

6 FSMA FOOD SAFETY PLAN Background information *Hazard analyses *Control programs Process Allergen Sanitation Supply Recall Effective? *Implementation *REQUIRED by FDA Background information is useful and somewhat essential (not required)

7 Develop, document, maintain and review the Food Safety Plan Anything missing? 1 Oversee effective implementation of the Food Safety Plan 2 Ensure personnel are trained to carry out their responsibilities

8 Compliance Checklist Food Safety Plan (documented) GMP update to 21 CFR Part B Process PC (CCP Summary Process Summary) Allergen PC Recall Sanitation PC Supplier PC Training Program

9 IMPLEMENTATION VERIFICATION VALIDATION SAFETY IN NUMBERS USDA FSIS FDA ISO CFR 117 GFSI schema Can we measure effectiveness

10 VERIFICATION: Activities (beyond monitoring) that establish the validity of a food safety plan. Are you doing what you say you will do? Are plan components working EFFECTIVELY? VALIDATION: Activities related to collecting and evaluating scientific evidence. IT IS PART OF VERIFICATION REQUIRED for CCPs Are plan components based on sound science? Is the entire plan working? 21 CFR CFR 117.3

11 Hazard analysis verification All products included? Properly grouped? Flow chart verified via walk through Intrinsic properties obtained (ph, Salt, Aw, etc) All oprps identified All preventive controls identified

12 PRP Verification Effective Documentation? Regulatory compliant Effective Design? End justifies the means Effective Tools? Everything's better with technology Effective Instructions? Three rights make a left Effective Training? Qualified and recorded

13 Parameters and values Verify (validate where required) all parameters and values monitored as part of the PC food safety plan. Critical Limit: The defined minimum and/or maximum value that is required to control a (significant) process hazard that can result in foodborne illness Operating Limit: A userdefined criterion that separates acceptability from unacceptability (often a more stringent version of the critical limit) Failure results in a deviation (unsafe) Failure results in a user evaluation (not unsafe) Safe but inedible effects of excessive lethality or excessive parameters on quality

14 CCP VERIFICATION Process Control Hazard(s) Critical Limits Monitoring Corrective Action Ver Records What How Frequency Who Monitoring: Conducting Right person? a (Knowledge, skills, ability) planned sequence Right method? of Right observations frequency? or measurements Right tool(s)? to Accurate tools? control a process, procedure, or point Effective Execution? Effective Design? Effective Tools? Effective Instructions? Effective Training? Four rights make it right

15 DRIFT Drift & monitoring frequency Drift & verification frequency

16 Corrective Actions Corrective Actions: Predetermined actions taken to correct a deviation and bring it back under control. Verification straight forward for corrective actions. Effectiveness = bringing deviation under control. Effective, but?? Costly, time consuming, quality compromised, etc Failure results in potential foodborne illness or recall Always have an eye on deviation PREVENTION

17 Corrections Fixing something BEFORE there is a deviation
