A system must be in place to identify and correct potential sources of foreign bodies or hygiene hazards e.g. Flaking paint, damaged surfaces
27.4.1 - TREND ANALYSIS (ASPN)
-
Trend analysis information is used for on going trend analysis to identify and act on areas for improvement
27.5 - EQUIPMENT (BASE)
-
Repairs to or servicing of equipment must be completed by trained engineers, approved contractors or the equipment manufacturer
27.6 - EQUIPMENT (BASE)
-
Engineering activities must be controlled
-
Risk assessments must be completed prior to work commencing to ensure product and packaging is not put at risk
27.7 - ENGINEERING (BASE)
-

The areas must be within the scope of the site Pest Control Programme
-
Production or food containers must not be used as general storage containers in these areas
27.7.1 - ENGINEERING (MEDIUM)
-
Wherever possible, engineering work must take place away from production areas
-
Engineering and maintenance areas that access directly into production areas must have restricted access
27.8 - ENGINEERING (BASE)
-
Welding, drilling, riveting and soldering etc. must not take place on equipment being used for production or on any equipment immediately adjacent , unless suitable hygienic screening is in place
27.9 - ENGINEERING (BASE)
