1. Review prerequisite programs
Evaluate sanitation, pest management, maintenance, personnel hygiene, supplier management, storage, transport, and other PRPs relevant to the operation and applicable sector requirements.
2. Reassess hazard analysis and control measures
Confirm that hazards and control measures reflect current products, processes, equipment, suppliers, and intended use. Maintain evidence supporting decisions and validation where required.
3. Strengthen traceability and product identification
Review lot coding, ingredient-to-finished-product links, packaging records, dispatch records, and traceability test outcomes.
4. Test emergency preparedness and incident response
Confirm that roles, communication channels, escalation, product control, and external communication are established and periodically tested.
5. Verify and improve the system
Use monitoring, verification, internal audits, nonconformity management, corrective action, and management review to identify systemic weaknesses and evaluate improvement.
