Hello everybody,

 

I am currently preparing for our FSSC 22000 V6.0 audit and keep stumbling over the 2.5.11 d) i requirement that a risk assessment must be in place to determine the need and type of foreign body detection equipment. We already have foreign body equipment on our lines which is covered by the HACCP program. What are they looking for here?? A risk assessment showing that we need metal detectors that have already been in place for over 20 years?

 

Thanks for your help   

 

All the best,

Eva

Hi,

I'm not familiar with the FSSC 22000 standard, but the BRCGS has a similar clause and a flow chart that might be helpful (se attached - I hope :D) 

 

I work for a company which have used sieves as foregin body detectors for centuries, but we needed to create a document based on the mentioned flow chart to justify why a metal detector wasn't used.

Much of the V6 updates seem like that to me.   We've been in business 75 years, are extremely low risk, and some of the V6 requirements are quite simply:  Stupid.

Can't wait to see what they do next.....

Assessment is required to opt for a CCP.

We are also a low risk manufacturer and the Decision Tree use for no metal detection has been accepted for years by our BRC auditors.
