5 or Less - BRC Packaging Audit - (5 Years) - AA
Minors but consistent issues:
1. GMP violations
a. Including Food and Drinks
b. Food in lockers
c. Trip hazards
d. Pallet/storage areas
e. pallet conditions
2. Razor blades
a. safety hazards
b. food safety foreign object hazards
3. Documentation and verification
a. Supervisor sign off
b. Consistency in documentation (all depts)
So, these are my major issues that I've observed every year, even though the auditor found it as minors. In my past companies, it seems to vary with the type of issues that consistently occur. Working for a smaller company, I realize that if there isn't enforcement by Senior Management and training by educating employees why these are required, it makes it difficult for Quality Assurance & Control to manage the Food Safety, Quality and Legality for my company.
In our field, I guess these are the daily challenges that we encounter. Eventually everyone must learn this, so be optimistic and diligent! (and make sure you don't release bad product)
have a good one everyone!
