Guide for validation of product inspection systems
A reliable and documented system for foreign body management is an important part of any certification according to food safety standards and regulations. These systems or programs must be developed, implemented, documented and maintained. An important component of a foreign body management program is a phased process of demonstrating that the system is effective and functions as intended. This kind of proof is required in food safety standards under the terms of validation and verification.
Unfortunately, there is no uniform understanding of
these terms in the food industry and as a result, very different interpretations
of the associated measures exist. This results frequently in unpleasant
deviations in audits.
This guide is intended to help quality managers and production
managers in food processing companies to generate a common understanding
regarding validation and verification processes in their own organization and to
implement appropriate procedures.
