SafetyChain’s FSQA Tech Talk conversation continues next week with a discussion on why cloud and mobile technologies are becoming a game changer for food safety and quality assurance (FSQA).
Partnerships. Collaboration. Transparency. Alignment. Accountability. Let’s start talking about how we’re going to move forward.
As FDA prepares to issue its next final FSMA rule, Preventive Controls for Human Food, companies should already be laying the groundwork for training staff.
The biggest risk faced by the food and beverage industry could be the supply chain itself.
Experts cited management buy-in, employee satisfaction, and information sharing as the critical factors for success.
In the age of increasingly fewer resources and less time, companies are challenged to effectively train staff and meet ever-changing regulatory requirements, while successfully managing their suppliers and customer expectations.
Partnerships between research and regulatory labs should strive to bridge information gaps with the goal of harmonizing standards, integrating lab networks, and expanding surveillance programs.
A thorough and effective CAPA can provide many benefits such as providing long-term solutions, preventing recurrences, fostering continuous improvement, improving customer satisfaction, improving profitability, and having the ability to influence FDA and FSMA inspections.
Understand what you are being asked to do with HARPC. Then get together a team to do this to figure out where your risks are, if they are significant, and build these into food safety plan. Then, look at your current systems and structure to understand if you have these now identified significant risks controlled.
