Nonconformity and corrective action (10.1)
When a system nonconformity occurs, you react, analyse the cause, consider whether it could recur elsewhere, apply the action and review its effectiveness. Evidence of its nature, the actions and their results is retained. Product deviations at CCPs and OPRPs are handled separately under 8.9.
Continual improvement (10.2)
Top management improves the suitability, adequacy and effectiveness of the system based on communication, management review, audits, analysis of verification results, validation and corrective actions.
Update of the system (10.3)
The food safety team evaluates the system at planned intervals and decides whether the hazard analysis, the control plan or the PRPs need revising. Updates are based on internal and external communication, information on the suitability of the system and verification results, and are reported as an input to management review.
