We have been audited against HACCP system, and one of our findings is to conduct another risk assessment for raw and packaging materials, food ingredients and cleaning/sanitizing chemicals.
The risk assessment part (of our product), as reflected in our HACCP plan, already integrates Hazard Significance Assessment Matrix (5x5) and Decision TRee in determining CCPs. As i proceed with creating separate risk assessment for raw and packaging materials, i'm a bit confused if I could adopt the 5x5 matrix in determining the significance factor, which also serves as the basis for going through the 4Qs in the decision tree or i should have to adopt other assessment matrix only intended for raw materials. if the latter is so, then, can i have a sample template, if you have any?
i just got a sample copy (which I recently downloaded) of the decision tree for raw materials. it's just a 2-question format that would lead one in determining whether a raw mat is CCP or not, in itself.
I need your help and suggestions on this.
Thanks.
