Experior has undertaken the time consuming and difficult task of developing “do-it-yourself” TEMPLATES for each and every phase of your organization’s operations in great detail. Experior has interpreted the clauses of the GFSI standard and has almost completed the technical writing of your company’s governing manuals. This “do-it-yourself method” approach will help your teams complete your FSMS in a fraction of the time, and at enormous savings compared to the traditional method of hiring a Food Safety Consultant and still having to write it all yourself.

What is the GFSI standard?

The Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) is a collaborated effort among food safety experts from retail, manufacturing and food service companies, as well as international organizations, governments, academia and food-service providers. The GFSI standard is also a guide for the development of a thorough Food Safety Management System applicable to the commercial production of human food.

What does the GFSI Do?

The GFSI brings together a recognized global standard of food safety practices formulated by food safety experts from all over the world that specify the necessary controls regarding food safety standard in commercial manufacturing based on risks. The GFSI Standard also describes considerations to be applied within the written corporate policies and procedures.

How Do GFSI Suppliers Benefit?

Suppliers that undertake and achieve a GFSI Certification are regarded to be more organized, disciplined and efficient as a result of their ability to demonstrate absolute process control and accountability.

The Technical Writing development of a good FSMS in commercial Food Manufacturing is the most time consuming and costly phase of the GFSI Certification undertaking. An Experior developed “do- it- yourself “ FSMS will consist of all policies/procedures, records, corporate statements, job descriptions and employee trainings that are based on the clauses spelled out in the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI) Compliance Standards. Your documents are to accurately document “what you say you do.”

All FSMS’s Include

TEMPLATES have been designed for Prerequisite Preventive Control Policies / Procedures, Food Safety Plan, Food Safety Risk Analysis and Food Safety Flow Chart examples that are designed to support your manufacturing processes. Also included are TEMPLATES for development of a Material Risk Analysis along with a Material Vulnerability Analysis (Food / Supply Chain Fraud).

Experior will provide examples to help you create a quality Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point Plan (HACCP) based on the principles of Codex Alimentarius for each of your manufacturing processes. Your HACCP plan will also include example TEMPLATES for you to follow describing product details, hazard analysis worksheet, HACCP verification worksheet and example process flow diagrams to follow detailing site area risk levels, Critical Control Point Tolerances and common potential production delays.

TEMPLATES have also been developed for required monitoring audits/inspections to include, but not limited to: GMP and Sanitation Inspections, Preventive Maintenance Inspections, Pre-Op Inspections, Internal Self Audits, Monthly Food Safety Meeting, Monthly HACCP Meetings, Mock Recall and Traceability, Crisis Management, Trending Analysis Charts, Key Performance Indicators and annual HACCP & Food Defense reassessments.

Record TEMPLATES allows users to detail product and material identification numbers, LOT codes, safety, and quality test results as well as numerous production and sanitation process control & quality observations. A fully implemented record-keeping system allows your teams to successfully monitor and control Food Safety and Quality practices during the production of every batch, every time.

Beginning at product development, on to work in progress (WIP) and finally, quality release for shipping, this FSMS will help you quantify performance values through the use of operations data, trending analysis, as well as other metrics based on recorded outcomes during a specified production period.

The FSMS is the most important aspect of a Certification Food Safety & Quality Audit but only accounts for 30% of the actual on Site audit. Therefore, a well written program is no guarantee of a successful audit outcome. The majority of an audit is the site’s ability to demonstrate overall organization and cleanliness, as well as the establishment of a food safety culture based on sound Food Safety and Quality protocols as outlined in each GFSI Standard.

Preparing a Site for the GFSI Certification Audit is equally as daunting and time-consuming as the technical writing. Experior will give “how-to” guidance to follow that support the FSMS. A “Cheat Sheet” of helpful-hints and scheduled FSMS maintenance tasks that connect the system in its entirety in a comprehensive way. It is up to you and your team to review and modify the TEMPLATES to your company’s specifics as well as implement the System.

Auditors like to see approximately three (3) months of an implemented FSMS as verified by document approval dates and ongoing record dates. Along with the TEMPLATES provided, Experior will include a list of outside requirements that the Site must undertake on its’ own to provide evidence of compliance. (i.e. equipment calibration certificates [scales, metal detector, sanitation chemical dispensers, HTST, flow rates], HACCP Training Certificates, GFSI Practitioner / trainings, PCQI Certificate, cleaning chemical SDS sheets, etc….)
