Food safety is a critical aspect of any food business, and ensuring that your food business operates in accordance with the HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) system is essential.
One of the key components of this system is having a team of internal food safety auditors to identify food safety hazards, assess your food safety program, and make sure that your food business is following necessary food safety regulations.
In this article, we will explore the role of the internal food safety auditor, the benefits of training your team as internal food safety auditors, the relevance of internal food safety auditing to HACCP, and how it makes HACCP audits easier.
An internal food safety auditor is someone who has been trained to assess your food safety program, identify food safety hazards, and make recommendations for improvement. The main role of the internal food safety auditor is to check that your food business is operating in accordance with the HACCP system and that your food safety program is effectively controlling the identified hazards.
Internal food safety auditing is closely related to the HACCP system. It supports the HACCP system by checking that your food business is following the correct food safety procedures and that the food safety hazards are being effectively controlled. The internal food safety auditor will work with the HACCP team to make sure that your food safety program is aligned with the HACCP system.
Internal food safety auditing also makes HACCP audits easier by ensuring that your food safety program is operating correctly and that your food business is in compliance with the HACCP system. This means that when it comes time for your HACCP audit, you can be confident that your food safety program is up to standard.
There are many benefits to completing internal food safety auditor training. Some of these benefits include:
