Operation

Operation brings together the HACCP plan, operational control of PRPs and traceability, with emergency management as FSSC's added piece.

Content reviewed on

Hazard analysis and control plan

Hazard analysis and the determination of CCPs and operational PRPs (oPRPs), built into daily operational control.

Traceability

A traceability system that can identify a product's batch across the whole chain, tested periodically through mock recalls.

Emergency preparedness

Identifying emergency situations that could affect food safety —fires, supply cuts, contamination— and a response plan.

What an auditor usually asks for

  • An integrated HACCP plan with defined CCPs and oPRPs
  • Periodic mock traceability tests with documented results
  • An emergency plan focused on food safety
  • A PRP operational control log

  2. 2Run and log mock traceability tests from the quality certificates module.
  3. 3Document the emergency plan and its periodic testing.
