Allergen Management Procedures and Form Template Bundles

Overview

Allergen recalls are among the most common and most serious food safety events in Canada and in the US. That’s why SQF 2.8 Allergen Management is also one of the core clauses, it can pose food safety recalls and cause illness and death. For this, it is definitely worth it to have a weighted score deduction under SQF 10, a minor with 2 points deduction and a major with 7 points deductions. Your SQF auditor will look at every layer of your allergen program, from how you assess incoming ingredients to how you verify your labels before product ships. A binder of policies without the supporting records and verification procedures will not hold up.
