Hi! I am very new into the food safety world and just got a job as a quality control manager *under mentorship of my mom/previous boss and food safety wiz. I am trying to do as much as I can without asking her first. This helps me learn too by talking to others and getting a more rounded opinion)
My company is wanting to start a foreign material exclusion plan. I'm not quite sure where to start. I am BRC certified but I took the class a year ago and haven't needed to use it until now.
We have an approved supplier program, glass and brittle plastics policies, and a metal detector.
I have begun by writing up an explanation of foreign material exclusion to give to more upper management. My cohort on this project would like to make it easier for the production line workers to comprehend and follow. Kind of like an SOP, that will be easy to access, review, and follow.
Any ideas how to make that work? Is it necessary? Or should it be sufficient to complete training with employees and keep just an overview of everything that goes into this plan?
I look forward to insight.
Erika.
I have attached the explanation I've started so you can have an idea where I'm at. My cohort liked this. However he is not in food safety and I feel it is lacking. I do want to add the other programs that corelate to it as well such as an approved supplier program.
