Sanitation related metrics (KPIs) detail effectiveness and efficiency of sanitation controls and are used to track gaps as well as continuous improvement efforts.
Procedures addressing special cause cleaning events such as roof leaks, drain overflow, zone breaches, and environmental positives are developed to mitigate and control potential food safety risks. All employees are trained and well-versed to execute
A sequential approach to sanitation is employed to facilitate effective and efficient cleaning of the facility (equipment and infrastructure). SSOPs are defined for each routine cleaning task. SSOPs are current, sequenced through defined (i.e. 7-step
Sanitation tools and supplies are appropriately designed, stored, cleaned, monitored for condition and replaced when necessary. Evaluation conducted on a defined basis.
COP tanks and automated cleaning systems are sufficiently sized and monitored to support timely and effective cleaning. CIP circuits are interlocked to ensure compliance with TACT parameters and support cleaning requirements in a timely manner
Maintenance responsibilities governing sanitation support, communications and compliance to food safety practices are identified and followed. Maintenance employees are trained in tool accountability and sanitation. Food safety preventive maintenance tasks are executed, lubrication is controlled,
Construction processes are evaluated prior to project inception. Personnel (internal and external) involved in construction activities are trained and monitored to comply with GMP requirements. Areas under construction are isolated. Dedicated foot traffic patterns are
All food contact equipment is inspected for cleanliness prior to starting production. Inspections are documented with corrective actions taken for non-conformance to standards. Results of ATP and APC swabs are trended and adjustments to sanitation
