Hello,
Our company is a co-packer company. I am establishing SOP's for dietary supplements 21CFE111.
We do not packed exposed product, we place finished goods packaged product into a unit carton, apply the lot code and exp. date that it states on the finished good bulk material. All of the product is customer supplied including all packaging materials. We do not allow or store opened bulk product in our warehouse, so we do not open up the material and verify the actual product. Would requesting a CofC for each lot receipt be sufficient as inbound inspection? We look at the shipment upon arrival and verify for visual signs of damage or contamination but that is all.
We also do not retain samples? Do we need to do so? I am in the process of writing SOP's for dietary supplements and I am on the QC unit section. ANY feedback would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Warm Regards
